Bargain for hours at a stretch & the

the longer they bargain the better they

like it. We next proceeded through the

King's palace which I have already described

in this book. I may also say that just

out side of the Palace is a great scaffold

where they used to hang prisoners & in

full view of the palace the King sitting

on a kind of throne to watch the spectacle

& on the other side is what is called King

Mindoon's Tomb. It is a great square tower

very much like a small church & surrounded

by great iron railing. This is the tomb of

one of the greatest kings of Burma. King

Theobaw actually spelled Theebaw the last King of Burma is still

a prisoner in Bombay. It was the cruelty

of this king Theabaw which started the war

the result of which the British captured

Burma & took the King a prisoner but the

cruellest thing about his punishment is

that he is only allow 1 dozen wives &

what can a man do with only 12 wives
