Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From Penghoeloe Koeala
The gezaghebber of Lököp went with the chiefs and a bevolkingspatrouille to the gampong Semboeang, which the Penghoeloe had worked upon, but was killed in an encounter with the unwilling, five men of his patrol being wounded. The Penghoeloe then organised a three-day religious feast and associated himself with the guardian of a holy grave and the guardian’s daughter; the convinced withdrew; the patrols of the Kompeuni came; four fell, among them the guardian of the holy grave; the Penghoeloe was taken prisoner, “and then it was over.”
From Serbödjadi
The movement, set on foot by Penghoeloe Koeala, a Gajò of Leuboe Sigeunab, cost the gezaghebber of Lököp his life in an encounter at the gampong Semboeang and ended with four dead, among them the guardian of a holy grave, and the Penghoeloe’s capture.
From Religious movement in Serbödjadi (December 1917)
The gezaghebber of Lököp thereupon went with the chiefs and a bevolkingspatrouille (population patrol) to the gampong Semboeang, which the Penghoeloe had worked upon, but was killed in an encounter with the unwilling, while five men of his patrol were wounded.
