Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From Pang Nanggròë
On 24 September 1910 sergeant Slooten received orders to look for him in the Paja Tjitjém, the Bird Marsh. As related by H. C. Zentgraaff and quoted by du Croo, “de baas” marched that same day with his brigade through Peutèë and heard from an Acehnese woman that three of Pang Nanggròë’s men were under the meunasah of gampong Aloeë with two women. When Slooten arrived they had gone in the direction of Boekèt Hagoe; although it was night and pouring with rain, Slooten pressed on into the forest to gampong Aloeë Awé, where the people had also left after eating.
From Slooten
Ordered on 24 September to look for Pang Nanggròë in the Bird Marsh, “de baas” marched the same day with his brigade through Peutèë and heard from an Acehnese woman that three of Pang Nanggròë’s men were under the meunasah of gampong Aloeë. Though it was night and pouring with rain, Slooten pressed on into the forest to gampong Aloeë Awé. He gave his dead-tired brigade only a few hours’ rest and resumed the hunt before dawn on 25 September, holding the tracks fast into the marsh and following them on 26 September through mud and water sometimes up to the arms. At midday voices were heard; a marechaussée fell in the tangle of roots and the loud splash alarmed the camp; the brigade rushed forward and a fugitive already two hundred metres off was hit and fell — “en de gids zegt: Pang Nanggròë.”
From Paja Tjitjém
Ordered on 24 September to seek him there, Slooten marched the same day through Peutèë, pressed on through night and rain to gampong Aloeë Awé, resumed the hunt before dawn on 25 September, and followed the tracks into the marsh, wading sometimes up to the arms in mud and water. At midday on 26 September voices were heard from huts on a dry patch; a marechaussée fell in the tangle of roots and the splash alarmed the camp; the brigade rushed forward and a fugitive two hundred metres off was hit and fell.
