SINAR TERANG Batavia (Jakarta) – Wednesday Edition, October 31, 1888
Description
Snatched By A Falcon[1]
A reader sent a letter of protest to the Editor of Sinar Terang as he has sent news about a woman (denok) three times in September, but only one was published. The next month, he sent another story, but still not published. He asked the editor of the newspaper about the reason behind the rejection of his story, whether it was considered unimportant, violated the rules, or was snatched by a Falcon? The Editor replied briefly, “Perhaps it was snatched by a falcon.”
