Abstract:
The attack on Kuching by the Chinese goldminers of Bau has been described many times. In this article I wish to analyse it from a different perspective: That of the effects this event had upon the relationship between the Brooke Raj and the Anglican Mission in Sarawak. In particular, this means analysing the behaviour of Rajah James Brooke and of Bishop Francis McDougall. How they responded to the crisis of those few days in February 1857, and how each thought the other had behaved, gravely affected the opinion each held of the other afterwards. These personal views were greatly to influence the relationship between the Brooke Government and the Anglican Mission.
