The Chang slave was a youth, as fat as butter. He has married a Himbu wife, wears Himbu dress and tattooed, Himbu fashion, and shows no desire to return to his relations, not a word of whose language he can understand. I shall let him stay. |

The scene was really rather an amazing one last night. There we all sat discussing details of the fight. Poor Mongsen has one dreadfully burnt foot, which I got the doctor Babu to bandage up. |

We've had a long dose of Pangsha and their friends today, finishing up with an oath of peace. The Patkoi looks quite an ordinary range from here, but it's extraordinary what a boundary it is. People living just the other side, a day's easy march from my villages, often wear dungarees and Burmese clothes and adopt Burmese customs. |
