“ The soldiers marched and marched: still no army, only people living and feeding themselves and others and not resisting, but inviting the soldiers to stay and live with them. The soldiers found it dull work, and they came to the king of Tarakan, and said, “We cannot fight here, lead us elsewhere. War is all right, but what is this? It is like cutting pea-soup. We will not make war here any more.” The King of Tarakan grew angry, and ordered his soldiers to overrun the whole kingdom, to destroy the villages, to burn the grain and the houses, and to slaughter the cattle. ”
