The Underwater Palace
The Dutch ship was wrecked

“Ma what buhan Walanda ni kamari? (why are these Dutch people here?)” said one of the men at the dock.

In ethnic Banjar people call the Dutch as Walanda there are also those who call Balanda.

“Kada knows. I'm going home to be targeted in our village. (Don't know. What else is being sought in our village)”

Apparently their conversation was heard by the Dutch man he narrowed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.

“Waar hebben?  lk grijp net niet. (what are they talking about? I don't understand)” he told the man next to him.

“Ze lijken de locale taal te spreken. (seems like they use regional language)” 

"Spreken ze english? (do they speak Indonesian?)"

"lk ken luitenant niet, latent we gewoon proberen met ze te communiceren. (either Lieutenant, let's try to communicate with them)”

“Do you guys speak?” he said to some people.

“What's the jar? (she said what?)” one of the people asked his friend.

“Jar nya we nah nah can be bepandir Indonesian, (she said we are what can speak Indonesian)” sahut a young man who is behind them.

“Oooo ... Can be a little Meneer,” said the citizen.

“In this village many. Many people,” he said.

“Iya many sightseeing vessels here. What's my handak here? (Why are you here?)” tanyakanya.

The face of the Meneer looks confused to hear the words of the residents.

“They asked. What do you want here?” ask the young man.

“We just want to buy resources here,” said the Dutch man.

However, not with the young man who had been he continued to pay attention to the Dutch soldiers and their leaders.

Until the man they called the Lieutenant spoke to the man beside him. Again they speak their language.

"Hij zegt dat er hier een schat is, we moeten hem vinden! (He says there's treasure here, we have to find it!)" said the Lieutenant.

"Zei hij onder deze river. (He said under this river)" said the man next to him.

"We moeten hem pakken voordat ze erachter! (We have to take her immediately before they know!)”

'He? Who does he mean? Is one of the rebels cooperating with them?' my thinking.

I kept watching them until one of the soldiers shouted in Dutch. 

"The lionenant! Ons schip heeft en probleem! (Lieutenant! Our ship's got a problem!)" shouted the Dutch soldier who was on the boat.

"Wat er is gebeurd? (What happened?)" the man beside the Lieutenant.

"Romp brak! Ons schip zal zinken. (boat hull broken! our ship will sink)"

The two Dutch men ran towards the ship with slightly panicked faces. 

“You cannot be evil in our land! This is the result,” said the young man loudly.

The Dutch man's eyes stared intently at the young man. The young man smiled wryly as he returned the gaze of the Dutch man.

And sure enough the Dutch ship began to tilt, some soldiers plunged into the river to save themselves.

Unknowingly I was back in my original state, I was stunned to see the incident firsthand. I also saw an incident where someone from my village tried to take some scrap metal from the wreck for sale.

However, it has not been able to sell it that person has even been hit by bad luck even worse. The man was in an accident while carrying a pile of scrap metal from a Dutch wreck with his wagon.
