It was formed of the mahawai-waela, (cable-rattan, ) which is occasionally found three hundred yards in length, and with little difference in thickness at any part: this circumstance, combined with its light weight and extreme toughness, renders it particularly well adapted for the purpose to which it was here applied. A CANE BRIDGE. 197 suspension-bridge of this construction is commenced by fixing a cane round two large trees growing on opposite sides of the river, the diameter of their stems determining the breadth of the bridge: when a sufficient number of canes have been fixed in this way, small slips of the same material are placed across to complete the roadway. A cane is then tied at the proper height to form the hand-rails, which are united to the bridge by small sticks that form a mutual support, and retain the rails in their proper position. The work is then completed by fastenings let down from all the branches which project in the direction of the bridge across the river; for by this means the vibration is diminished, and the strength rendered sufficient. From the length of this bridge, and its height above a rapid stream and rocky channel, it formed a pleasing object to those who were not under the necessity of trusting themselves on such an aerial structure. The approach to this bridge (which, as may be supposed from its construction, was only for foot-passengers) suited well with its position and materials; being by ladders tied together in the same way as the rest of the work, viz. with jungle creepingplants, which are everywhere to be found in abundance, and supply the places of both rope and nails in Kandian edifices.
