Why is it called a Powder Magazine?
It is taken originally from the Arabic word "makahazin" meaning "warehouse" via Italian and Middle French.
A gunpowder magazine is a magazine (building) designed to store the explosive gunpowder in wooden barrels for safety.

It was found after doing an image overlay
of a rough map </div><div>i got from either the Labuan or Chimney Museum on the Google Earth </div><div>and later confirming the spot with a photo taken form a hill just opposite it </div><div>since the location of the coal mine Railway tunnel entrance </div><div>is now a security area

which is lying in the water about 500 meters upstream from the Telok Intan's(Anson)<br />
town jetty have been a mystery for a long time since its first sighting,<br />
was said to be that of a steam locomotive<br />
but search shows no record of any such incident where a loco had fallen into the river<br />
and lately many mention that it might be from the Steam Ship Poh Hin Guan<br />
which sunk in the Perak River
after a collision with SS Neera in 1896.<br />
And here after months of research online, i would like to share my conclusion to this mystery<br />
or maybe to add on to it.<br />
<br />

<br />
According to the Marine Court of Enquiry of the ship collision,<br />
3 ships were on their way up somewhat racing on the Perak river that fateful morning,<br />
"they, (SS Neera,SS Perse and SS Poh Hin Guan) were then about 15 minutes<br />
from Telok Anson going full speed counting tide and all"<br />
and when SS Neera overtakes SS Poh Hin Guan, she was rounding the bend<br />
at Sungai Durian when the collision happened."<br />
<br />
(1898 Map of Telok Anson below)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The results of the enquiry shows that Poh Hin Guan sunk 15 minutes downstream the Perak River from Teluk Intan near the bend of Sungai Durian<br />
which totally dismissed the assumption that the boiler<br />
could be from this wreck.<br />

Ship data shows Poh Hin Guan with a length of 180ft (~55m)<br />
and weight of 357 tons<br />
which will definitely need a much bigger boiler<br />
than the 7ft x 4ft dia one found in the river.<br />

<br />
From a 1890 shipbuilder's brochure of Forrestt & Co,<br />
a boiler the size of 6 ft 11.25 inches by 3 ft 10.375 inches(about 7' x 4')<br />
was for a 56 ft long Vedette boat(Patrol Vessel) almost similar<br />
to a Police Launch used by the Perak Police then,<br />
coincidentally in 1898 an unnamed Police launch<br />
sunk after a collision with SS Canton at Kuala Perak<br />
killing District Surveyor Draycott,a chinese engineer and another local.<br />
Effort was made to raise and tow the sunken launch to Telok Intan.<br />

and was being towed towards Telok Anson<br />

<br />
The last report says that the 2 halves of the police launch<br />
which sank after the collision with SS Canton are now lying at Telok Anson.<br />
It is intended to raise the boiler and the engines<br />
(raise, which somewhat shows that the launch is still in the water probably somewhere safe<br />
and shallow.)<br />
and the launch will afterwards be rebuild and lengthened.<br />
It could be that it was never rebuild due to lack of fund or more economical to get a new one<br />
and in the end the broken launch was left to its element<br />
till today.<br />

Extract from the Travels of Isabella L Bird to Perak around 1879<br />
mentioned Perak Police Launch <b><i>KINTA</i></b><br />
sailing from Province Wellesley up the Larut river<br />
to Teluk Kartang which is Matang of today<br />
<br />
"Soon after eleven the <i>Kinta</i> appeared, a black shadow on a silver sea, roaring for a boat, but the surf was so heavy that it was some time before the police boat was got off; and then Mr. Maxwell, whose cheery, energetic voice precedes him, and Mr. Walker landed, bullying everybody, as people often do when they know that they are the delinquents! It was lovely in the white moonlight with the curving shadows of palms on the dewy grass, the grace of the drooping casuarinas, the shining water, and the long drift of surf. It was hard to get off, and the surf broke into the boat; but when we were once through it, the sea was like oil, the oars dripped flame, and, seen from the water, the long line of surf broke on the shore not in snow, but in a long drift of greenish fire.<br />
The <i>Kinta</i> is a steam-launch of the Pêrak Government. Her boilers, to use an expressive Japanese phrase, are "very sick," and she is not nearly so fine as the <i>Abdulsamat</i>, but a quiet, peaceful boat, without any pretensions; and really any "old tub" is safe on the Straits of Malacca except in a "Sumatran." I stayed on deck for some time enjoying the exquisite loveliness of the night, and the vivacity of two of my companions, Mr. Maxwell, the Assistant Resident here, a really able and most energetic man, very argumentative, bright, and pleasant; and Captain Walker, A.D.C. to Sir W. Robinson, on his way from the ceaseless gayeties of Government House at Singapore to take command of the Sikh military police in the solitary jungles of Pêrak. The third, Mr. Innes, Superintendent of Lower Pêrak, whose wife so nearly lost her life in the horrible affair at Pulo Pangkor, was in dejected spirits, as if the swamps of Durion Sabatang had been too much for him.<br />
The little cabin below was frightfully hot, and I shared it not only with two nice Malay boys, sons of the exiled Abdullah, the late Sultan, who are being educated at Malacca, but with a number of large and rampant rats. Finding the heat and rats unbearable, I went on deck in the rosy dawn, just as we were entering the Larut river, a muddy stream, flowing swiftly between dense jungles and mangrove swamps, and shores of shining slime, on which at low water the alligators bask in the sun–one of the many rivers of the Peninsula which do not widen at their mouths.<br />
The tide was high and the river brimming full, looking as if it must drown all the forest, and the trestle-work roots on which the mangroves are hoisted were all submerged. It is a silent, lonely land, all densely green. Many an uprooted palm with its golden plumes and wealth of golden husked nuts came floating down on the swirling waters, and many a narrow creek well suited for murder, overarched with trees, and up which one might travel far and still be among mangrove swamps and alligators, came down into the Larut river; and once we passed a small clearing, where some industrious Chinamen are living in huts on some festering slime between the river and the jungle; and once a police station on stilts, where six policemen stood in a row and saluted as we passed, and at seven we reached Teluk Kartang, with a pier, a long shed, two or three huts, and some officialism, white and partly white, all in a "dismal swamp." A small but very useful Chinese trading steamer, the <i>Sri Sarawak</i>, was lying against the pier, and we landed over her filthy deck, on which filthy Chinese swine, among half-naked men almost as filthy, were wrangling for decomposing offal. Dismal as this place looks, an immense trade in imports and exports is done there; and all the tin from the rich mines of the district is sent thence to Pinang for transhipment."<br />
*************************************************************<br />
<b><i>as a conclusion,the steam boiler is certainly not from SS Poh Hin Guan<br />
and it is most likely to be from the Perak Police launch (similar to KINTA) </i></b><br />
<b><i>which collided with SS Canton in 1898 (121 years ago)<br />
at the Perak River mouth,sunk,raised and towed back to Telok Intan<br />
to be stripped off parts and rebuild but was left abandoned in the river</i></b>.<br />

was first planted from around 1889<br />
and was also used as a cool retreat by British colonist<br />
in Perak as an escape from the heat of the lowlands until<br />
it was abandoned sometime after 1932.<br />
The name Arang Para came from a Victorian wood stove<br />
left abandoned on the hill which was most probably used<br />
as a fireplace to get through the cold nights<br />
or for <a href="https://www.oldhouseonline.com/kitchens-and-baths-articles/period-perfect-victorian-kitchen">water heating</a>.<br />

boats carrying Mr Desborough the Tax collector,Mr W P Townson the Inspector of Mines,<br />
Mr J Townson and 12 Sikh policemen plus local boatman.<br />

and churches(for records) in Kuantan on behalf of his daughter Judy Wilkinson.<br />
I will have to end what seems to be a futile search for the grave of J.R Rutty<br />
(John Rowland Rutty)who was murdered together with David William Jennings and 2 locals<br />
at Batu Sawar,Sg Lembing road by communist bandits on 9th of July 1948.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Emergency Memorial in Sungai Lembing is without a proper signage and explanation<br />
and i believe the list of fallen ones is incomplete judging from the number<br />
of graves of serviceman at Kuantan Christian Cemetery at Tg Api<br />
and the Catholic Cemetery at Bukit Ubi Road who died between 1948 and 1960.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
J.R Rutty was supposed to be buried at the Christian Cemetery at Tg Api,Kuantan<br />
but was no where to be found.<br />
It's possible that his grave markings was engraved on a cross<br />
like most Anglicans and was damaged or vandalized<br />
through the years<br />

Records below shows that he was a CSM (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_sergeant_major">Company sergeant major</a>)<br />
probably a non-commissioned soldier(reserved) as in the link.<br />
and was captured by the Japanese and sent to work on the Burmese death railway,<br />
survived the ordeal to begin life anew married in Malaya<br />
which was short lived, no thanks to the emergence of a new fight for ideology<br />
and power in Malaya after the Japanese left.<br />

build probably more than 50 years ago<br />
were used to make <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal">charcoal</a> from mangrove logs<br />
which was once in abundance here<br />
but with depleting supply of wood<br />
and modernization of home kitchen<br />
from charcoal to gas as a main source of fuel in the 80ies<br />
lead to the end of this traditional charcoal production kilns<br />
here in Semeling,Kedah.<br />
