"On the Equator" by Harry De Windt is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's journey through the Eastern Archipelago, primarily focusing on Sarawak in Borneo, as he documents his experiences, encounters with local tribes, and the distinctive landscapes along the way. The narrative features the author and his companion as they navigate various adventures and cultural insights in this fascinating region. The opening of "On the Equator" begins with the author's departure from London, setting off on a long-planned adventure to the Eastern Archipelago. Accompanied by a friend referred to as "L.," they first travel to Paris and then to Marseille, before continuing their voyage towards Singapore and finally Kuching, the capital of Sarawak. The journey's highlights include their preparations for the trip, their experiences aboard the ship, and their first impressions of various ports, including the bustling atmosphere of the bazaar in Kuching. As they arrive in Kuching, they describe the interesting juxtaposition of local life against the backdrop of the unique cultural and historical fabric of the region, foreshadowing the deeper explorations of Sarawak's society and geography that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
