This road is by Mr. Boyd’s 
account exceeding difficult, 
and many parts dangerous 
on account of the elephants. 
From what I could learn, I 
understood the distance be- 
tween Candy andTrincoma- 
lee not to exceed. 120 miles, 
and from Columbo to Candy 
about go. I have not a 
doubt but the Candians took 
Mr. Boyd the longest and 
most difficult ways, parti- 
cularly for the last two or 
three days’ march, as they 
evidently brought him round 
into the Columbo road at 
Gunnoor

Should events hereafter render it necessary for the English to proceed 
to Candy in a hostile manner, there are other roads much shorter 
and less difficult than those described ; between Chilow and Putalom 
is a road the Dutch once took, and another between Caltura and 
Point de Galle, by which the distance is not above 70 or 80 miles.
