  was being built, the natives knew nothing

  about cranes & lifts. After leaving this

  place we went to have a look around

  the native village.  Here we saw the Burmese

  in absolutely the savage state boys & girls

  running about absolutely naked & men & women

  with only just a small loin cloth & all

  living huddled up together just like a lot of

  cattle, we were not sorry to get away from

  here as the stink was something awful. After

  having about 2 hours on shore we again

  went on board the boat & continued our

  journey once more up the River I cannot

  say how many miles we went as I cannot

  find out the speed the boat was travelling

  but we began our return journey about 5 o-clock

  and arrived again at Mandalay at about

  8-o-clock we then again boarded the

  trams which were waiting for us, we travelled

  as far as the trams could take us & then

  boarded the quaris which were waiting

  for us & arrived back at Barracks about

  10-o-clock after having spent a very

  Good day.
