text: Yemi villagers in camp abt 9 o/c. 2 dobashas & 2 men of Kezah Kenomah sent off to Sikhama over the hills to stop our dak coming on, which wd certainly be cut up if they attempted to pass Shipvomi. Worked out some points with Ogle until Bkfast time after which we started from the village & thence on Plane Tabling to Aphomai another village on hill above. We are now close on the tri-junction of the waters flowing to the Irrawaddy, Brahmaputra & Soorma & there can be no doubt about the watershed of Munipur running thence SE.
