—Tsubotani Zenshiiro, Saikin no nangoku [Countries of the South Seas in Recent Times] (Tokyo: Hakubunkan, 1917).

There is now a woman in Sandakan [other than Kinoshita Kuni] who has a rather high status. Her husband is an American, and because the formalities of registering the marriage in the official family register have not been completed, she cannot be called a legal wife, but she is not your typical concubine. She already has a child by this man, and for all purposes is considered his wife. Her husband is the assistant manager of Borneo’s largest company, Dalby, and I have heard that he commands the highest of social positions. It seems that in the future he plans to spend the rest of his life in Japan with his wife, and that he has already purchased a home there in Sasebo. Many Japanese living in Borneo are indebted to this woman for her assistance.
