After tiffin we continued
our way following the
gravelly bed of the river.
The boulders + few ledges
bordering the water were a
White granite. Before reaching
Ka - Nai the gravelly bed
spreads out 2 or 3 miles wide
having in former years carried
away all the soil of the bordering
rice fields. The accommodation
at Ka - Nai was in an old
temple in the town which
was filled by the branches of
school children + quite littered
up with straw + dust. The
town is of considerable size
half Chinese + half Shan.
The climate here was quite
warm + the nights only + rainy.
