boat sending them back in the S. S. Paknam. They have 
seen His Excellency the Governor, the Resident, and several 
other Europeans, including a lady, so they ought to be satisfied 
and civilised now.

APPENDEX: 
There is little doubt but the Tampasuk route to Kinabalu 
is the longest and by no means the easiest. 
The following plans of march may be of assistance to others 
wishing to explore the mountain, and I have proved that 
coolies are easily obtainable in Tuaran, which they are not 
in Tampasuk even under high wages. 
Labuan to Gaya Island by S. S. Pakuam eight hours, or 
by steam-launch Bujang Baram, under special favour of 
Mr. A. H. EVERETT, the Consul for Sarawak; or by boat two 
days’ sail. 
Gaya Island to Borongis, Tuaran, v@ Mengkabong by 
boat six hours and across plain to Buntai two hours’ walk. 
Buntai Village to Sinilau Village 3} hours’ walk—hills. 
Sinilau Village to Bungol Village 84 hours’ walk—hills. 
Bungol Village to Labong Labong Village 6 hours’ walk— 
hills. 
Labong Labong Village to Kiau Village 2? hours’ walk —hills. 
or 
Gaya Island by boat to Government station, Tuaran, six 
hours. 
Station to Madang Village eight hours’ flat walking. 
Lemawng Village t> Tambatuan Village five hours’ (hill) (on 
the Tampasuk River). 
Tambatuan Village to Labong Labong Village five hours’ 
(flat) (on the Tampasuk River). 
Labong Labong Village to Kiau 2% hours (hill) (on the Tam- 
pasuk River). 
The first route 1s the quickest by a day and requires no 
crossing of rivers between the Tuaran and Tampasuk, where- 
as the latter abounds in it. 7
