16 REPORT ON A JOURNEY FROM TUARAN TO KIAU. 
lay on every side. Here we rested for a few minutes and 
enjoyed a cup of cold tea. During the next half hour, we had 
to crawl under and over fallen trees and finally arrived at 
Paka-Paka cave at 12.15 p. m., height 10,262 feet, thermometer 
58°. | 
66. At 1 p.m. the sun broke out, but no view could be 
got, owing to the thick mist. Soon the rain began to fall, 
and in a few minutes the Kadamayan, which had been a shal- 
low stream running past the entrance to our cave, became a 
roaring torrent bounding over the large boulders in its bed. 
Equally soon the stream subsided when the rain stopped. 
67. Paka-Paka cave is a shallow hole scooped out of a 
hornblende cliff by the adjacent stream. Its floor is earthy 
and covered over with charred wood from deer-hunter’s 
fires. The entrance was partially blocked up with my tent, 
and three fires were lighted. My mat occupied the back 
part of the cave remote from the fires, as I could not endure

thermometer registered 52° at 5.30 a. m. inside the cave. 
68. Ilasked for volunteers in the morning, obtaining eleven 
who wished to accompany me up to the summit. Their 
names were written on a page of a note-book and put in an 
empty (alas!) bottle of three-star Hennessey’s brandy. 
The cork was secured by thread and candle grease. The 
names were, Pangeran SAHBUDIN, Government Chief in charge; 
Police Constables NANGGAI and NEHANGAN, and a Dusun re- 
lation; JEMAIN, SOMAH, PANGOLIN, MAPADRI, coolies; GA- 
WANG, two guides (LIMBAWAN and TAMBIAS), and myself; 
twelve in all. | 
69. We started at 7 a.m. After twenty minutes’ climb 
passed out of the thick jungle, having had constantly to 
clear the obliterated path with low branches on every side, 
and came to the granite face of Kinabalu. I managed to
