TRAVEL AND COLONIZATION. 
Continued from page 576. 
the closing of what the people no doubt regard¬ 
ed as an excellent and cheap source of meat 
supply caused much unpleasantness. 
My lamp had come to grief that morning, 
so there was nothing to stay up for after the 
digestive cheroot which follows dinner, and 
which may as well be smoked in bed as out of 
it. I have often slept on the ground, but the 
practice is not to be recommended; and as an 
ordinary low camp bed does not raise one 
above the influence of miasma, that piece of 
furniture was left behind, and the men con¬ 
structed for me a bamboo framework to which 
my waterproof sheet was laced, forming a 
roomy hammock, fully five feet from the 
ground. Moung Gyee once volunteered to 
make me a bed. and. receiving encouragement, 
spent a day over the task, detaining three beat¬ 
ers to help him. The result reflected credit 
upon his ingenuity and capacity for taking 
pains, but scarcely accorded with European 
ideas. He took a coffin for his model and with 
infinite labor, built of split bamboos a long 
box which he left open at the end, so that I 
could wriggle in. It was so carefully made that 
the air was practically excluded, and I might 
enjoy to the fullest the not very exhilarating 
odor of fresh cut bamboos. I slept on the top 
of the box by way of compromise; and can 
recommend a bamboo mattress as much su¬ 
perior to any known device to stimulate early 
rising. 
There is no hardship in sleeping under the 
stars in the jungle when the weather is fine, 
but one does feel the want of a tent when it is 
time to get up. It is dark, but the owls are 
silent, the cricket’s shrill song has died away, 
and the world is very still. Dawn is at hand, 
and you lie fighting against the sleep that drags 
at the eyelids, for you have arranged to start 
very early for that valley a mile away, where 
the gaur comes before daybreak to feed on the 
juicy khine grass, whence he retires to the hills 
when the sun first touches the highest treetops. 
A chilly wreath of mist is eddying ghost-like 
along the choung as you throw back the 
blankets, and, shivering in pajamas, swing 
yourself down on the sand in search of the 
clothes you stowed on the camp chair under 
the bed last night. My guns always sleep with 
me, to avoid risk of damp. They are not the 
bed-fellows one would choose to share a slack 
hammock, or even their flannel-lined canvas 
cases, they seem to be all hammers, which dig 
into one’s back, knees, shins—any spot upon 
which they may press themselves on your at¬ 
tention. Once on the sand, the sooner you 
dress the better, for, if you don’t, the one soli¬ 
tary advantage in getting up in the dark is lost. 
Rise after daylight, when the men are waking 
up, and if you are a modest man you will learn 
what it feels like to blush on a really large 
scale. The Burman is polite and amiable, but 
his code of etiquette omits deprecation of per¬ 
sonal remarks; he has also a very fine eye for 
points, and by the time you get your coat on 
you know what a horse may be supposed to feel 
when the judges have done with him in the 
show ring. 
The man who sends his shikari out to look 
for spoor, and waits in camp till it is found, 
loses half the fun of the game, to my thinking. 
It may be the natural perversity which has so
