May.] arrival AT MERIBOHWHEY. 
We did not take the road across the moun- 
tains, but preferred going by a plain to the .east- 
ward of them, which was beautifully covered with 
the mimosa tree, retaining a lively green, though 
near the middle of their winter. Our guides had 
conducted us on our journey to Mashow from 
Lattakoo, by the mountain road, thinking it 
nearer, without reflecting on the difficulties it 
opposed to waggons. 
Therm, at eight a.m. 48: noon 72. 
At four p. M. we arrived at the Tammaha Town 
of Meribohwhey, when almost the whole popula- 
tion came out to receive us. As all their corn 
had been cut down and got in, a great number of 
women were in the crowd ; but when we were

and the females were occupied the whole of the 
day in driving away the birds from the corn. 
We found the same warlike messengers from the 
Wanketzens in this town, pressing the same ob- 
ject, but without any success. Possibly the con- 
versations we have had with the chiefs of the 
different nations may render them at least more 
cautious of engaging in such iniquitous under- 
takings. 
A large congregation attended the evening 
worship ; many made remarks to each other so
