It grew dark, at the mansion of Barrambarras Toklu. We were re- 
ceived kindly by the master of the house, and treated most hospi- 
tably with a banquet of brinde and maize. In the course of it he 
introduced to us his wife, who is the sister of Subagadis, to whom 
I presented beads and a looking glass. Our host was chief of the 
district of Tembla, and a man of consequence, having many sol- 
diers with matchlocks in his service. He was in high spirits, was 
very jovial, and wished me to stay in the country, promising to 
give me his daughter in marriage. Much jocular conversation en- 
sued, the maize was handed briskly around, and we all took our 
full portion, about sixteen brulhes being drank by each person 
present, ladies as well as gentlemen. 
" September 13. — ^ At a very early hour in the morning we 
quitted the village of Gullybudda, where we had been so hospita- 
bly entertained, and which appeared to be a place of considerable 
extent and population. We travelled about three miles N. N. W. 
through a picturesque and tolerably well-wooded country ; but 
the trees were of a small size, and scarcely timber. Birds of many 
different kinds were singing among the branches of all the lower 
trees, the extremities of which were hung with numerous nests. 
Our hrst halt was by the side of the river Warie,* which was run- 
ning with great rapidity to the westward. Though at present a 
small stream, there were evident marks of its magnitude in the 
rainv season ; for on both sides were seen sticks and weeds among 
the branches of the trees at least fifteen feet above the surface of 
its present bed, which had been lodged there by the floods. Our 
people soon made a tire, killed a sheep which had been presented 
* Warie means merely a torrent.
