AN EXPEDITION TO MOUNT BATU LAWI. 43 
ably and we have to spend some time felling trees in order to bridge 
it. Later we pass our former camp at the junction of the two 
rivers Kri and then begins that long toi! up the further Kri, which 
has also risen slightly to impede us. We reach our old camp on 
Mt. Derian about 6 p.m. and stragglers came in later with torches. 
One Dayak fell out and had to be carried in the last mile. ‘The 
natives had left a little rice here ou the way out and we enjoyed a 
much-wanted meal after a strenuous day’s work. I had eaten a 
little at midday, but many of them had finished their food in the 
morning before we started and so had gone without any more till 
this evening. ‘Ihe Dayaks were accused of commandeering halt 
the Tabuns’ deposit of rice, while the latter were not looking; 
however they apparently had enough to satisfy their wants and I 
was far too tired to go into the matter. 
June 2nd: (6.30 a.m. temp. 62°). Another long day’s walk 
from Mt. Derian down to our old camp above the Rapaw stream, 
thus accomplishing two day’s journey in one. Luckily it has ee 
moderately fine all to-day and yesterday, except for a slight showe1 
about 2 o'clock. But still dampness is part and parcel of travel 
in Borneo and the day’s journey is very often commenced by ford- 
ing a stream waist -high, or failing that one is soon wet through 
from perspiration, so that a shower or two of rain does not make 
much difference. I very often used to bathe just as I stood in my 
clothes if we came to a tempting stream or waterfall, and never 
seemed to derive any harm from it. 
June 3rd. Soon after leaving camp this morning we came 
to a small opening on our right from which we can get a last sight 
of Batu Lawi (excepting the view of the top of the higher peak 
to be seen from Penribut’s heuse). The following sketch gives 
an idea of it; the sloping line at the base indicating the line of the 
Turan-Derian range which cuts off all view of Mt. “Selinguid lying 
between it and the lower slopes of Batu Lawi. The base of Batu 
Lawi (taking the Palabar stream which flows between it and 
Selinguid as the base line) is some 3,500 ft. above the sea-level 
and the mountain itself rises about 2, 700 ft. higher. Approx- 
imately 1,000 ft. of the mountain are visible in the sketch.
