58 THROUGH THE KLAWNGS 



At length we came to the town of Ratburi, where 

 lived Phra Ram, chief of the Burma-Siam boun- 

 dary line, who was to escort me to the Karens, 

 among whom I hoped to engage guides for my pro- 

 posed buffalo hunt. 



It was worth going to Siam, if only to meet Phra 

 Ram.
