Mon.
Nov. 15
Slept a very little last night
for the first time. There was all
the confusion in breaking camp
and we had what could hardly
be called a breakfast. At 8.40 I
started with Semphat and my boy
for Lobang. I twittered at the first
open place to enjoy the sunshine
and collected to my hearts
centent. Took it very slowly
and was glad to get into the
warmer altitudes. Had a wonder-
ful fine view of "Pumjah".
At about 5:00 feet above Numbur-
naugam Semphat showed me where
Ong Sui, the chaplain's china man
"Sherlock Holmes" was buried. He sleeps
high on the mountains which he
wished to do as a pilgrimage.
At Numbur-naugam I stopped for
lunch and had sunshine and rain
together. Found the way down
my steep and slippery and
I reached Lobang at 4.45. Not too dry
clothes, making camp and
supper of comteer and eggs, a
smoke and much contentment
