sloughed away, &c. We thoroughly cleaned the sores, 

 spread ointment on linen covering them, then hound the 

 arm up with a layer of cotton to prevent harsh contact, 

 and placed the limb in a sling. The poor suffering 

 creature said he enjoyed great relief, when all this was 

 concluded. I left medicine and ointment with Suleiman 

 to continue the applications ; he, good soul ! evincing 

 here how thoroughly the religion of our Saviour has con- 

 verted his heart ; for this man was a sweeper, an outcast, 

 not to he approached without defilement. Suleiman 

 promised (and I fully confide in him) to take every care 

 of the miserable being, whose case I look upon as hopeless. 

 His master being absent shooting, I ordered him to be 

 furnished with anything necessary. 



Bella Shah again came to visit me, and with him some 

 friends, desirous of a talk I presume, a considerable 

 attendance around. He told me that one man he was 

 engaging to accompany me, when he heard that I was 

 going to shoot wild cattle, refused to go, being a Hindoo ; 

 but he had engaged another, a man of even higher quali- 

 fications, both in point of familiarity with the localities, 

 and acquaintance with the language required. His name 

 is Abdool. He again assured me of meeting with the 

 yak in numbers, and we parted promising ourselves an 

 interview on my return. 



I had felt wrong in the head all day, but could discover 

 no other symptoms of sickness. All ready for a start in 

 the morning.
