xix] WE REACH THE REJANG 



Early next morning Kam Diam's Kayans followed the course 

 of the river to their village, which was not very far from the place 

 where we passed the night, to get a boat. They returned with it, 

 and towards noon we were on our way down the Bellaga. We had 

 to pass one more rapid, and at last, after many days of travel by 

 stream and forest, with the endless jungle constantly limiting the 

 view, our eyes feasted once again on a noble expanse of open country 

 and a wide sheet of water. We were on the Rejang.
