The Sarawak Gazette, April 3, 1908

Mr. F.F. Boult, Resident of Lundu, and Mr. E.F. Pumpin arrived from Lundu on the 2nd by the Cutch Company's launch. Mr. Pumpin has made a thorough examination of the land in the Lundu district and was pleases particularly with that in the Simatan Valley. Unfortunately the difficulties of transport are such that we fear that he will probably be unable to decide in facvour of that district; in the meantime he is visiting other parts of Sarawak.
