  for instance There is one where a great big

  black giant as a small white child in his arm

  tearing it to bits with his teeth, it looks
  Horrible to see the blood running down

  from his mouth. Another picture is where

  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
