text: April 5th. - In the morning we saw smoke signals, or something of the sort go up from Yungya, who could probably see the sun catch our bayonets, and guessed that we were leaving Tamlu. We camped at the Dikhu. The river very dirty, but I managed to get a couple of mahseer. A second deputation came in from Kamahu, and some of the headmen of Yacham, a transfrontier Ao village with probably a good dash of Phom and Konyak blood. [I visited this village in 1921. See Man, No.67, August, 1922.]
