"Ran Away from the Dutch: Or, Borneo from South to North" by M. T. H. Perelaer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a group of four military deserters—two Swiss, a Belgian, and a native—as they attempt to flee from Dutch colonial rule in Borneo to find freedom and a better life. Their journey is filled with peril, and the book explores themes of loyalty, deception, and the harsh realities of colonial military life. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a tense situation where four soldiers have gone missing from their post, prompting concern from their Colonel. We learn about the men's intentions to escape from military service due to disillusionment with the Dutch authorities and their miserable conditions. A detailed examination reveals their backgrounds and motivations, particularly highlighting their desperate wish to evade the turmoil of colonial life. The Colonel becomes distraught and ponders the actions he must take, including possibly sending native hunters after the deserters. Just as their escape plan commences, the layering of intrigue is heightened when their disguises and tactics are put to the test against both the dangers of the jungle and the pursuit from their former comrades in arms.
