From Meergebied
In April 1914 Takèngön reported the final elimination of Pang Intan with four followers at the Waih ni Wis.
From Takèngön
Formerly the mountain region “where the bands found good and safe hiding-places everywhere,” Takèngön became the seat of the sub-division. Seureulo, where Tgk. di Barat hid and where a great meeting of the resistance party was held and dispersed in January 1911, lay in the Meergebied, “thans onderafd. Takengon”. In April 1914 Takèngön reported the killing of Pang Intan with four followers at the Waih ni Wis. H. N. A. Swart crossed the lake by motorboat from Takèngön to Bintang with Hein Meijer on the inspection that produced the anecdote of the engine revolutions.
