A correspondent of the Straits Times, writing from Khung of the 18 a16, given the follow. ¿ingg account of a ramble :—I took a trip tko. other day to a place called Damassarah, some twelve mitas ap the river, in the steam latüob Rogobud. For miles along the banke the conatry was covered with groves of coceanut trees, proping out of which you could just die porn neat little attap and plank villas, builo.on elevated apote of land. Woeren: að quite a commation as we approadbed three pinoes by blowing the whistle. The people al turned out to pay a tribute of admiralion as the little craft passed on. The distant backing of doza, and the crowing, oficooka, announced the existence of large villages ambosomed in the wet desert of covoznute. As we proceeded one half the distance, the plantations became more scarce, and in their stead we came acrona-largë patobes of cleared land, where evidently paddy had been planted and reaped. Situated on the spots, were small isolated attan shanties, or temporary residences for the paddy planter, Large groups of monkeys desported themacires on the overhanging-bangbs, and very prorok ingly grinned at us as we moved onward. By way of recompeace, we fired in a low bullets smongst them, but never waited to know the result. Here and there along the banks were open spaces of land gently leading down to the river, where the surrounding brush
and trauipled upon for a considerable distance. These places are, I am told, the resort of ele. phants who some-down-at nighttaquanch their thirat and bathe, · A. nipa pleos to come out to with half a dozen plucky companions.
