This would be for a perfectly comfortable, but fairly economical 

 trip. To do the thing really luxuriously in our style we would 

 probably incur an expense of Rs.i5 or .1 per day each. 



A visitor on economy bent could hardly do a similar trip on less 

 than twice what we spend, and the ordinary wealthy " globe-trotter " 

 would spend ten times as much. 



Professional "shikaries," such as can be engaged in Colombo, 

 usually name a sum of so much per day, for which they supply 

 everything, from guns to carriers, and so save the ordinary visitor a 

 lot of trouble. A trip in the style in which I travel could only be 

 done by a visitor in company with a Ceylon friend, and an ex- 

 perienced man at that.
