On the roadside grew geravas, pummilos, londii, ash trees, yellow bullets (prongdang) a round grapefruit, candle trees which have leaves & bark like our cottonwoods. At Longton we found Andrews had moved over to Juntsing so we had to engage another lot of porters l of this took until noon as the other porters refused to go further.
