Our provifions being nearly confLimed, it was 

 ■with much fatisfa6lion that 1 underltood our next 

 day's journey would bring us ta a village m the ter- 

 ritory of the Singrozula Rajah; where, if the inha- 

 bitants did not abandon ir,^ we fhould be abundantly 

 fupplied with grain. 



Feb. gth. We had not advanced far on our march, 

 when we pisrceived the Bickery Hills, which were 

 the largeft I had feen fmce leaving Kimoor-gaut : I 

 was informed that they extended to Gyah, and that 

 Bidjyghur* is vifibie from their fummits on a clear 

 day. After fkirting along the eaft fide of thefe hills 

 for about five miles, we pafTed through them at a nar- 

 row defile, called Bulgaut^ and then entered upon the 

 Singrowla Rajah's territory. The country now opened 

 into an extenfive plain, though ft ill wild, and un« 

 cultivated. We flopped at the village of Oury^ the 

 inhabitants of which are mountaineers. Allahad 

 Mhatoe, a vaffal to the SingrG-uola Rajah, was m 

 charge of this place, and of the pafs we had come 

 through. It was not till four hours after our arrival^ 

 that we procured a fupply of grain, although much 

 courtefy had been ufed to obtain it ; for the inhabi- 

 tants having fled on our approach, it was v/ith dif- 

 ficulty they could be prevailed on to return to their 

 dwellings : this, however, they all did before night. 



Feb. loth. We proceeded in a plain, about teri 

 miles wide, but covered with a foreft, and very wild. 

 As we drew near to the village of Gurfcry, the 



country 



* A flrong hill fort, fituated about forty miles S, S. E. from Chunarghur^
