Bees Routed Surveying Party

A surveyor in Pahang accidentally
discovered a nest of bees, reports the
Malay Mail. On seeing what he had
done he turned and bolted through the
Jungle. But it was of no use, for a
large number Of the insects pursued
him and stung him on the eyes, nose,
cheeks. neck and hands. After a run
of about a quarter of a mile, with the
insects at work all the time, he fell
and the bees appeared to pass over
him. But shortly afterward several
of them returned to the charge Dur
ing his wild rush through the jungle
the unfortunate surveyor tore and cut
himself badly with thorns. Finally
one of his coolies discovered him and
took him back to his quarters, Dur
ing this encounter some of the sur
veyor's coolies took refuge in an ad'
iacent stream, but, nevertheless mey

hotlce most of these servants are

clean up the place. When she said 1t

Now it happened she had two
