Thenceforth St. John and Brooke were closely associated. St. John was with Brooke during his final operations in 1849 against Malay pirates and he accompanied Brooke to Brunei the Sulu archipelago and to Siam in 1850. Although St. John deemed some of his chief's dealings with the natives high-handed and ill-advised he in a letter to Gladstone defended Brooke against attack in the House of Commons. While the official inquiry into Brooke's conduct which the home government appointed was in progress at Singapore St. John acted temporarily as commissioner for Brooke 1851-5 and visited the north-western coast of Borneo and the north-eastern shore ascending the principal rivers. Appointed in 1856 British consul-general at Brunei St. John explored the country round the capital and penetrated farther into the interior than any previous traveller. He published his full and accurate journals supplemented by other visitors' testimonies in these well-written and beautifully illustrated volumes entitled Life in the Forests of the Far East 1862.
