Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silken East, Vol. 2: A Record of Life and Travel in Burma Above Balet. There appears one of those gateways which are characteristic of the Chindwin. The river narrows between hills. Through which it has forced a passage, and beyond, and transverse to the river's course. A line of mountains runs like a great barrier across the horizon. The river widens to a large circular lake above the gates. Enclosing an island, and the two streams rush together in tumult as they come through. The western current is very swift, and flows right under the lofty precipices which rise from its edge. And rafts men say their prayers when they reach this corner. Steamers coming down in the high floods descend tail first. Ready to steam away from collision with the rocks. Polesmen. With long poles thrust out. Wait bv the ship's side to break the impact. Above Masein the Government steamer Pagan came to an end. Finding that there was not room enough for her to turn in, she took her chance of cutting the corner. And smashed into it.

Yet one more sensation remains to complete the bizarre suggestions of the day. For as I near the gateways of Pha-gat, I am startled by the sound of a great flight of birds, a sound as of grey geese on the wing, but of such volume as can proceed only from a great host. These are the bats of the Pha-gat cave. For more than twenty minutes they sweep out, in a long swift line that grows tortuous as it recedes; and, as far as I can see into the ruddy twilight, the line extends. Swiftly as each creature in it is flying, it looks in the distance like a smoke spiral I 6! W Q Q S! Q waiting for a wind to blow it away. They go every evening, say my boatmen, to clrink the salt water of the sea; and they cross in their flight the crests of the Zingyaik hills.

Past the shadow of Pha-boo. we enter the left channel of the river, skirting an island in our course, and Pha-nwe is-soon lost to sight behind us. The route we are following is in a sense historic, since the names of all these peaks and precipices are associated with the bygone..
