REPORT ON A JOURNEY FROM TUARAN TO KIAU. 23 
up to 3 p. m., when we arrived at Tambatuan village after 
trudging up a long and greasy hill. The clay hills of Tuaran 
are terribly annoying after a shower of rain. I remember 
constantly making four or five unsuccessful attempts in the 
veins 
97. The headman LINTAID’S house was leaky, so we put 
up at LIMBUN’S long house of three doors. To arrive here 
ST. JOHN must have used another path, for he only crossed 
the Kadamayan twice near Dilongan Tipud hill after making 
a détour to the east. 
98. LINTAID excused himself coming as he was roasting 
two monkeys he had snared. Next morning, the 22nd March, 
I wrote to Mr. WHITEHEAD, who was still at Melangkap, lower 
down. Started for the coast at11.30 a.m. At the last mo-

monkeys and wished to speak to me, but I refused and left 
the wretch to revel in more monkeys if he liked. GAWANG 
had persuaded me to visit this village saying LINTAID wished 
to come down with me, but he seems to have changed his mind. 
At 6 a. m. thermometer 70°, aneroid 1,752 feet.

long steep hill making a path through tall grass and, on 
arrival at the top, were of course bathed in perspiration. A 
coolie from TYamperuli in Tuaran became prostrated from 
fever and it was with great difficulty I induced anyone to 
carry him even with the promise of a dollar. Shortly after- 
wards the carriers struck work, but had to come to their senses, 
for, when I remonstrated with the grumblers, and myself 
shouldered the sick man, as a proof of his lightness a strap- 
ping Dusun hoisted him up on his back and walked quietly 
down hill with his load. 
100. The rain commenced as usual in torrents and we 
hurried on, finding shelter in a small padi hut of larger 
dimensions than usual. The Dyaks walked on saying they 
would get quarters ready at the nearest village whose cocoa- 
nut trees were visible afar off and dimly through the mist as 
“through a glass darkly.” 
101. We lighted fires in the meantime and stripped our
