THE STRAITS OF BALLAMBANGJANG, subs. phr. (nautical).—‘Though unnoticed by geographers, are frequently mentioned in sailors’ yarns as being so narrow, and the rocks on each side so crowded with trees inhabited by monkeys, that the ship’s yards cannot be squared, on account of the monkeys’ tails getting jammed into, and choking up, the brace blocks.’—Hotten.
