AN EXPEDITION TO MOUNT KINA BALU. 
uii dry clothes, wrapped myself in blankets and felt warm and 
comfortable, althong'h getting* only little sleep. But as the river 
by this time had gone down considerably, De Uontaine and some of 
the men managed to cross and reached l^nngol in safety. Only a 
few Dusuns stayed with me, making as usual next to no effort ttj 
prepare a sleeping place for themselves, but remaining scjuatted 
on the wet ground, some ijerhaps with a few sticks between it 
and themselves, but in no case with protection above. My 
camp-bed broke down partly during the night. 
7'/oo>he//, March JOth. I got up at h a.in. and found that 
there had actually been no rain during the night. Some of the 
men had already returned from Bungol to help us across the 
Menternan, so we left at (J.dO a.ni., and as 1 still wore my dry 
and warm liannels from the previous evening, I had myself car- 
ried across the river, which we had to ford three times, and 
reached Bungol at 7.45 a.m. 1 felt the need of a day’s rest, and 
decided to remain here, but gave directions to Malagup to }h*o- 
ceed wnth the coolies carrying the luggage which was not im- 
mediately required, to Jhinjut, our starting place on the coast. 
I gave him instructions to reach there on the Saturday following, 
and t(j discharge the coolies on anival, giving him also a 
lettei* for the district officer there to the same effect. I spent 
the day resting and taking notes. Dull day, drizzling rain from 
aliout 1 p.m., heavy rain from 3 p.m. 
Fridan {Good Fridaii)^ March Slat, 1 had a comfortable 
night, although only little sleep. We left Bungol at 8.3 a.m., 
forded the Menternan and Inimian Kivers, climbed the Gunoiig 
Kalawat, and reached Kalawat at 1.55 p.m., in fog and rain. It 
was a heavy day’s work, ascending nearly all the time, added 
to which was the recollection of our march over the same ground 
two weeks ago, when we had found the down-hill way so easy. 
This time we did not attempt to camp out in this village, and I 
managed to get a tiny, but comfortable room all to myself, 
Saturdai/, April 1st We left Kalawat at 7.30 a.m., caught 
sight of the sea for the first time again at 0.40, and were over- 
joyed, like Xenophon and his companions. When approaching 
Kappa, about 2 p.m., one of the men who had been in advance 
came running back to say that a ‘ Tuan’ had arrived in the vil- 
lage and wished to see me. It was Mr. Burls on his way to.
