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.
