they are cutting them  to pieces with great

big knives &  then throwing the pieces to

the dog & so on for over 200 pictures

the next stage we came to is a kind of small

pagoda here there were about a dozen people

worshipping  a great big brass Elephant at

each place of worship there is always a

collection box & all sight seeers are expected to

put something in. It is a sight to see the motions

& hear the lamentations is any one puts anything

In.  We put 1 pice (a farthing) so they

Prayed for us. After that we came to the

Third stage here was a very large pagoda

Containing a very large  God. This God stands

about 40 feet from the feet to the top of the

head & is one mass of Gold, Is right arm

is extended straight out & it is believed in Burma

that when that hand falls Burma will
