SELAMA TO PONG, PATANI. 107 
Crossed the Krian River three times again, and _ halted 
at 2 P.M. beside it, and set to building camp. Joined here 
by two other Semangs who should have started with us. One 
of them—named BUNGA—is a Pong Semang and came to Sela- 
ma this way thirteen years ago, but has never been along it 
since. He is the only man to be found who has ever been 
at Pong, and he says he is sure he will be able to guide us 
there. He says we follow the Krian River, crossing and re- 
crossing as to-day up to its source in Gunong Inas. 
We then go over the hill and eventually get to Sungei 
Rui, which we follow down to Pong, of course, cutting off 
corners. After to-night, he says, it will take us three more 
nights to reach Pong. Gunong Inas is said to bear from 
here, Camp No. 2, about N.N.E., Gunong Bintang E.S.E. 
17th November.—Broke camp at 8 A.M.; crossed the 
Krian River fourteen times ; water much shallower to-day, 
and the stream much narrower. Our path is now a rhino- 
ceros track ; marks of these animals quite fresh. After halting 
at midday, crossed Krian River eight times. Lost the path 
two or three times at a hot spring; a rhinoceros had 
evidently been just scared away from it, as the water was 
muddy. The water as it comes out from the rock (a sort of 
cave) is white and thick ; tasted it, but it seemed quite taste- 
less. Remains of an old hut here, on top of a rock, where 
some Hulu Selama men once came to shoot rhinoceros. 
Halted at 2 P.M. at foot of a spur of Gunong Inas, on Krian 
River, which is a mere mountain torrent here, a series of 
cascades, about 6 feet wide, big rocks. Built camp. 
We are encamped at the foot of a spur of Titi Wangsa, 
which we shall ascend to-morrow in a northerly direction. 
We have travelled, so far, in an easterly direction, passing to 
eastward of Gunong Inas. Gunong Inas bears from here 
due South. 
18th November.—It rained for three or four hours last 
night; hut pretty leaky. Very cold here all night. 
Started at 8 A.M. and went up the steep side of a spur of 
Titi Wangsa; on reaching the ridge followed the ridge line, 
steering about North; this ridge at one narrow point, 6 feet 
broad, had a precipice of 100 feet on each side. 9.30 A.M.
