AT SEA, SAPTSIIIIZA 10. 1819.
Tuesday the 410.—At diy light the drum was
best, end every thing in readinem for our &par.
ture, when • serious difficulty was started. In the
distribution of the presents of She day before, it
was stated that one piece of cloth had been stolen;
and the chiefs of Solo bad, in consrquence. re-
ceived one piece less than those of Sekiya. This
was represented as likely to become the orcrottot
of a feud between the two people after my deltas-, tire.
I would willingly have given soother piece of chi it,
but 1 found the whole statement to he ass
floss; for when I offered to do so, a stew demur
arose : the chiefs of Solo come in a body, sayitig
that I had slept two nights in Selsys, and not one
in Solo; that I had, therefore, done more honour
to the former ; that the two towns had always main.
misled an equality, which was now lo.t, unless I
would cousent to stay also two 'tights at Solo. This
I represented to he impossible ; the chiefs of bosh
town' had received me at the boundary, and it was
left to them to conduct me whither they pleased
they took me to &hays ; the ilium was now beating,
end I must be off; but I promoed to ari.it Solo on
my return. Nothing, however, would pacify them ;
and we had well nigh come to an open rupture.—.
At last I gave the piece of cloth to the chief. of
Solo; and a written cettificste, that the important
point should be regularly discussed after my return
to l'adang. where the chiefs were invited to pro.
teed, should any had blood rennin). At length,
with the greatest difficulty, we got clear out of he
town, amid bent our course menhir the plain towards
the Lake of Sincere, which we expected to teach
in the course of the day. During this day's jour.
nay, which lay through one of the most highly
cultivated couritsies I ever primed, we were sub.
jetted to several groan impositions. On first leas,-
tog Solo Seism we had to find our way without
guides ; but we had not proceeded many miles
when. on being st a loss which way to turn, terve.
sal time, voluntarily offered their services as guides.
provided we would pay them beforehand we at
first refused, but at length were forced to give way;
and thernomemoer got the money, than they took
an earlropportunity to decamp. To our surprise.
however, we soon fell in with the chiefs of the
towns we had left ; they had travelled by a shorter
route, and now presented themselves as guides.-..
They did not. however, allow us to proceed more
than a mile at a time, without stopping to consult ;
and the whole country being raised as we advasiced,
it was impoesible to oppose their will. In this mem-
ber they detained us at least six or seven tunes in
the course of two hours; nor would they allow us
to go an until we paid them a certain sum by way
of customs, for the liberty of pawing through the
country: all hands seemed determined to get some-
thing by us. At length, about half-past nine, we
reached the termination of that part of the plant
under the Tege Blas chiefs, who, after making
their last demand, insisted on our waiting half sea
hour to see them exhibit in a tournament, to which
we were obliged to submit, notwithstanding the ex.
seseive heat of the sums, from which we had no %het-
ter. At tea o'clock we obtained a view of the lake.
and about eleven reached Kalil: at twelve we ar-
rived at Sendangbakir, • populous town on the
banks of the lake, where we remained for the night.
Both here and at Kati we were received with OM.
partitive politenessasid atteotion ; she people seemed
to have some respect for authority ; and it was evi.
deist they had enjoyed the advantage of more gene.
sal intercourse with strangers. We were, its the
first Ma:twice, conducted to the large wariugiu tree,
under the shade of which the chiefs and people
assembled to receive us. and where cocoa nuts and
fruit were presented to us. At Kest the most par-
ticular siltation was paid, owing probably to its
being the native town of one of the principal niete
chants, who accompanied us, and who seemed to
possess much influence here.
The town of Sendaugbakir is situated about a
mile from the batiks of the lake, on a fine stress;
the buildings, &c. much in the same style as in
Solo Selsya ; but out so substantial or numerous.
many of them having been burnt during a lens
civil war; but the moat interesting object beim
us was the lake, across which our course lay to
Maccangkabou. Of thug au account will be given
in the next day's journey.
Of the country through which we had passed I
shall only observe. that our course this day lay
through rich corn fields. and frequently on the slope
of a low range of faille on the western aide of the
plain. The fertility of the plain fully equalled any
part of Java. and especially about Kati and in lb,
vicinity of the lake. where the rice fields evanced.ais
u.common luxurisuce: they were here au full col.
tivation. The plain gradually narrowed as we ap-
proached the lake. and between the rice fields. un-
der the Tega Bias country and those of Kass, we
passed an uncultivated tract; but even this hod
been cleared. and was covered with a short sod.
affording excellent pasture for male, of which there
were great abundance : many parts reminded us of
the beautiful district of Seraya, the pride of Java.
We estimated our jooroey to-day" at twelve
miles. Lady Raffles had the advantage of being
carried • cousiderable part of the way in a cliiir
but to palming through the rice fields its culti..,•
tiou, the euthauktuesita which binned the Ireol-Masts
(for the rice was chiefly its eats) prevented this accom.
snodat ioa.
We calculated the height of Sendangbak if above
the level of the sea at 1,100 feet; that of Solo
&lay* we also ascertained, by the beirumeter, to late
about 1,100 feet; so Met dm plena gradually
