Such wealth Of timber, such varieties Of
woods, shrubs. creepers, orchids and

that was sorry when we left the forest
for the last time and emerged on to
small plain, bounded by the scrub on
one eide and by the mountain on the
other. On this I could discern colleo-
ton of huts and houses to the number
Of perhaps 800. But what struck me as
most remarkable about them was the
fact that they were arranged in streets
aud that the majority Of them were
built on European lines; also in almost
every case-aud Twas able to verify this
later on-each one possessed a we'll kept

quite in keeping with the woman, the

this gate we passed. and after carefully
closing it behind us followed short
track along lovely avenue of areca
palms and india rubber trees toward a
house we could just discern through the
foliage, then having assembled alright
of broad stone steps fanked with quaint
stone gods and images we stood before
the dwelling of the Beautiful White

I fear, deeply as the memory of it is
