I examined the contents with great care and found a few grains of gold in the alluvion! All at once, however, an unpleasant thought crossed my mind and dimmed my bright hopes. In my chats with the Sakais they had told me that there was another orang putei at Tapah.
The new branch of commerce, which I had started, required a good deal of energy, but I let no grass grow under my feet and went frequently to Tapah in order to open up a sale for my products. It was on my return from one of these journeys that something happened to me worth relating. Only a few hours of daylight remained when I set out from Tapah for my forest habitation.
From the Bidor I passed into Sunkei Selin and Pahang, and when, in 1901, I happened to be at Tapah I was offered the Government post of Superintendent of the Perak Sakais. The proposal was such as to gratify a little ambition of which I had not really been conscious before.
So I found that Tapah, the chief-town of the district, is under the direction of an Englishman, who is called the District Officer, and who performs all administrative and magisterial functions. Not much time lost here in the labyrinths of Bureaucracy!
