The work provides an ethnographic account of the various tribes in Borneo, particularly focusing on the Sea Dayaks, their customs, and the environment. The author, having served as H.M.’s Consul-General in Borneo, shares his firsthand observations and experiences while exploring these relatively unknown territories. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by reflecting on the little-known existence of Borneo's wild tribes. He discusses the context of his travels, beginning with an expedition along the coast to visit the Sea Dayaks. In this opening portion, St. John describes the natural beauty and impressive features of the regions he visits, introduces the vibrant life in the Sea Dayaks' villages, and highlights their social structures, customs, and the challenges they face. The narrative blends personal anecdotes with detailed insights into the local flora, fauna, and cultural practices, providing readers with an engaging glimpse of life in this remote area of the world.
