6 AN UNEXPLORED CORNER OF PAHANG. 
which all sorts of legends appertain. It is chiefly a mass of 
huge rocks, and the Sakeis of that locality have a record of 
over 60 of their tribe who have been killed by tigers on it. 
The arene I camped there, a Sakei, who formed one of my 
party, went about 150 yards below the сатр to fish, and bi 
mountain and sat on a rock about 50 yards away. The Sakei
