I respected that reserve until, three days after the affair, I discovered in a disused stable in my quarters a palanquin of unchastened splendour evidently in past days the litter of a queen.

If it had known as much as Mills and Jones and Sydney about the "antidote" it would have shouted itself hoarse. Gillam trotted back to his place.

Like the Bahian cadeira-men, they use shoulder-pads, and forked sticks to act as levers when shifting; the bamboo-pole has ivory pegs, to prevent the hammock-clews slipping, and the sensation is somewhat that of being tossed in a blanket. Quitting the creeper-bound sand, we crossed a black and fetid mire, and struck inland to a higher and drier level.
Thick shoulder-pads keep his outside suit from grazing or hurting, and it may be that other pads are about his body. He next goes into an outside suit of India rubber, covered both inside and outside with a tanned twill which is water-proof, and the rubber itself has been treated in a way to make it very hard and lasting.
