stones. Every day in the ardor of pursuit I would get up to some 
place from which I could not get down, or else a shower would 
come along and make the rocks slippery, and the descent enough 
to turn one’s hair white. I shall never try the Macassar country 
again. All the virgin forest is cut down except in the most un-get- 
at-able places, and elsewhere there is nothing but those horrible 
meadows of alang-alang grass, eight or ten feet high, through 
which it is impossible to make one’s way. As for the paths they 
do not at all compare with those made by the wild pigs and deer. 
This, however, can be said of many parts of the East where the 
paths are much better. No native race of the East makes roads 
half so well as the wild elephants do Excuse this 
little outburst of bile. I have been suffering for the past month 
with acute pains in the lips, tongue and gums, a curious disease, 
caused by unnutritious food. I was travelling with a Rajah’s 
brother and a half a dozen men, but I could not get the people to 
understand that I could not live without animal food, and it was 
only now and then, as a great favor, that they sold me a poor little 
chicken for a dollar or so. If it were not for the coffee and palm- 
wine produced everywhere, and half a wild pig that I once luckily 
shot and salted, I really think I should have died.”
