Low told him that I had been at Koto-lamah, he said that the chief in whose house I had rested deserved to be shot, and ought to be shot. He and Mr. Low talked business for an hour; but all important matters are transacted in what is called a native council.
Mystification A Grotesque Dinner-Party Mahmoud and Eblis Fun and Frolic Mahmoud's Antics A Perak Jungle The Poetry of Tropical Life Village Life The Officials of the Mosques A Moslem Funeral The "Royal Elephant" Swimming the Perak The Village of Koto-lamah A "Pirate's Nest" Rajah Dris I fear that the involvement and confusion of dates in this letter will be most puzzling.
There would have been nothing left to wish for if you had been there to see, though you would have tried to look as if you saw an elephant moving submerged along a tropical river every day with people of three races on his back!! The Singhalese said, "I'm going to take you to Koto-lamah; no European has been there since the war. I've never been there, nor the Resident either."
Low was at first displeased that I had been to Koto-lamah, and said that my escort was "ignorant and foolish" for taking me; but now he says that though he would not have taken the responsibility of sending me, he is glad that the thing was done, as it affords a proof such as he has not yet had of the complete pacification of the district; but, he added, it would appear somewhat odd that the first European to test the disposition of the Koto-lamah people should be a lady.
