Hainggyi Island Memorial:
"These walls
form the remains of the factory erected in 1753 by David Hunter
who was deputed by the Hon'ble the East India Company to form
a settlement on the Island of Negrais. David Hunter died in the
settlement some months after his arrival and was afterwards succeeded
in charge of the settlement by Henry Brooke, by Captain John Hours
who also died in the settlement, and by Lieutenant Thomas Newton
in 1757. Ensign Lister, who was deputed by Lieutenant Thomas Newton,
obtained from King Alaungpaya a treaty ceding Negrais Island to
the British in perpetuity. On the 6th October 1759 Captain W.H.
Southby together with Messrs Briggs and Nulkley Hope and
two others whose names were unkown, were suddenly attacked and
treacherously murdered whilst assembled for dinner in the upper
storey of the Fort House. The surviving members of the garrison,
five in all, were carried away as prisoners to Rangoon. The settlement
was thereafter abandoned. This tablet has been erected by the
Government of Burma in memory of the British Officers and men
whose names are set forth, and who were among the first pioneers
of British enterprise in Burma."
