Bible ( Surat ) Murut... "Murut, or Lun Dayeh Murut, to be distinguished from Tagal, or North Borneo Murut, is spoken by 10,000 or more people in the Sultanate of Brunei, the tiny British protectorate on the north coast of Borneo.   A few Murut are also found in adjacent Sarawak and Indonesian Borneo.   Murut is a Malayo-Poly- nesian tongue of the Western, or Indonesian branch. The story of the Murut manuscript of Mark in World War II is typical of many.   Three copies were made of Mark, translated before the war came to Borneo.   One copy was given to a Murut chief, and one to each of the two translators.   Mr. J. Willfinger returned with his copy to Dutch Borneo, where he surrendered and was killed.   Although the manuscript was discovered in his effects after the war, it was lost when a canoe carrying it to the coast overturned.   The Southwells gave themselves up at Brunei, and were interned for three years.   During that time, despite constant searches, they kept the manuscript safe.   Passed back and forth between the men’s and women’s camps, it was missed time and time again by the searchers.   For a time it was sewn into the lining of Mr. Southwell’s overcoat; on another occasion Mrs. Southwell hid it on a clothes-line and put wet garments over it until the search was finished.   The Southwells never forgot during that long period that they were the custodians of the Murut Scriptures, which were finally published in 1947."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] "1947 Mark Commonwealth of Australia Council of the BFBS, Sydney Translated by J.
