10 In the morning we con-
tinued our way to Mali'-
pa where we learned a British
Officer was stationed. The
route descended down a
narrow valley & then has
dry freshly grass down plain.
Mali'pa was reached
at noon. Here we were met
by Capt. Clive who gavers
liffin + a camping place
near his home + barracks;
He is stationed here with
some 50 Hindus of the Turba
tribe chiefly infantry with
one 3d muzzle loading gun
+ a herd of pack mules &
ridding horses. The station
here is temporarily occupied
in the period rented when
he returns to the main station
at Lashio.
11 Upon our arrival yesterday
Clive sent out a telegram near
ago to Lashio as the head
of the district could only givers
permission for them to China
or leave the station. No message
concerning us was received however.
The Captain closed me the heliograph.
