Others are in course of construction, and there are numerous elephant and jungle tracks through the western parts of the State. Still, the rivers form the natural highways.

Shortly after finishing my last letter I left Taipeng with Mr. Maxwell, calling on our way to the coast at Permatang, to inquire if there were any scent of the murderers of the revenue officer, but there was none. The inspector said that he had seen many murdered bodies, but never one so frightfully mutilated.
