Penetrated with the freshness of the mountain air and the freedom of our vagabond life, we came unanimously to the conclusion that we had made a wise exchange from the FAR NIENTE DOLCES of Sirinugger, and passed a vote of general confidence in the expedition.
From this point we adopted a new mode of progression, the boatmen towing us from the bank; and the motion was a great improvement on the paddling system, except that it had a tendency to set one to sleep altogether. Reached Sirinugger, and our camp again, at four P.M. Paid Saifula Baba, the shawl merchant, a visit to-day, in order to get a bill of exchange on Umritsur cashed.
The names and duration are as follows, viz : Sut Jug, 1,728,000 years; Treth Jug, 1,296,000 years; Duapur Jug, 864,000 years; and Kul Jug. 432,000 years. This makes the present age of the world to be about 3,893,000 years! About five P. M. I reached Sirinugger, and found the advanced guard in possession of one of the bungalows.
A Halt in the Valley. Being fairly settled in our quarters, we were not long in putting our new staff of dependants into requisition; and, taking to our boat, sallied forth to get a general view of the city of Sirinugger. Finding, however, a review of the army going on, we stopped at the parade-ground to witness the interesting ceremony.
I tried to negotiate a shawl with the overseer, but he assured me that the pieces were all made separately, and were sent in to the merchant at Sirinugger to be put together, and that he in fact had nothing whatever to do with the sale of them. In the evening we dined at a fashionably late hour, and were lulled to sleep by the simple music of our domesticated waterfall.
It was impossible to decipher the exact device, but the breast and head, in most instances, were plainly distinguishable. About three kos from Sirinugger, we stopped at another very extensive site of Cyclopeian ruins, at a place called Pandreton.
