The next stage is to Piphima, about seven miles. Distance from Samaguting nineteen miles. Leaving the Pherima stockade the river is immediately crossed. There is no bridge, except a rough Naga structure used by the inhabitants during the height of the rains. The path beyond, ascending and descending, eventually reaches a stockade built on the site of Piphima, the village having been destroyed by the late expedition. |

From Piphima to Sachima is nine miles. The path, after leaving Piphima on its left or north, continues along the slope of a mountain range, whose highest point is Sriwenchika (7,380 feet), and leaving the village of Keruphima to the south, leads to a stockade built on the Sachima " arras," or open cultivated land. Near Keruphima a branch Naga path leads by the former site of Sachima to Jotsoma, Mezuma ( Mozima) and to where Konoma once stood. |
