lives.'

 Ayer.'

(i) < White Pagoda Street.' 



(ii) k (iii) Stone-breaking street ' small 

 town ' or Kampong (Glam).' 



(i) The lane of the praying pavilion in 



{ small town.' 



(' Sam-pai-yang ' is the Malay town <Sem- 

 baiang.' The street leads from Beach 

 Road to a mosque. The name illus- 

 trates the distinction drawn by 

 Chinese between a Mahomedan place 

 of worship and a temple of their own. 

 (The essence of Mahomedanism is 

 prayer, while Chinese pay more at- 

 tention to vows; and acts of adoration).
