for the engine. The coal had to be dug from the ground. We continued on up the river to a Kampong named Djonglankop on the North bank of the river where we spent the night. This after-noon we saw three Orong-utan and went on the bank but could not get to them though we waded some distance in 3 feet of water and mud. I am sleeping in a Malay house and before morning will go out to hunt pigs.

       At about 2:30 this morning I went with a native with a lan-tern and hunted for about 2 hours but got nothing though I saw one animal, I know not what. At 6:30 we started out again and I got four squirrels, which seem slightly darker than those on the South side of the river. I hunted for about 3 hours and then got in a sampan with Ekoy, the Rajah's son and 4 natives & started for Tanggarong; on the way get a mouse deer which was driven into the water by a dog; see a tree literally covered with eagles.

The Rajah seems interested in what I am doing and has told his men to bring him all the birds they can get. I wish they would bring mammals, but these seem much more difficult for them to get.
