English: View in the new colony of Labuan.

THE NEW COLONY OF LABUAN. This Sketch of the New Colony of Labuan, founded by our enterprising countryman , Sir James Brooke, was made in the month of August last, by the medical officer (Dr. Startin) of the honourable East India Company's war steamer Phlegethon, lately on a cruise in the Indian Archipalago, in search of pirates, thirty of whom she succeeded in capturing, and carrying to Singapore; these men forming the residue of the crew who seized and destroyed the General Wood, and murdered several hands and passengers on board, about a year and a half ago.

In the Sketch , the buildings shown upon the banks are the Government bungalows and guard-house; the navy well, left of the flag-staff; and, further left, the bath-house and other offices of the Phlegethon steamer, in front of the picture.
