Abstract
At the turn of the twentieth century tightened restrictions in Australia led some pearling masters to move their business to the Netherlands East Indies. In 1904 Queensland's James Clark the Celebes Trading Company (CTC) in order to take out a pearling lease in the Aru Islands. He was later joined by the leading Arab trader Sech Said bin Abdullah Baadilla to form a large consortium. The CTC continued to be an important concern until the late 1930s, and the Clark family used it to create a pearling zone between Aru and Darwin. Another Australian, Henry Hilliard had a Kupang-based pearling company with his son Robin and Alex Chamberlain, and later Herbert Cross. Other Australians worked in the Netherlands East Indies, though it was understood that the CTC held something of a monopoly on the eastern Indonesian pearling industry, despite increasing Japanese competition.
