After tiffin we continued our way following the gravelly bed of the river. The boulders & few ledges bordering the water were a white granite. Before reaching Ka-nai the gravelly bed spreads out 2 or 3 miles wide having in former years carried away all the soil of the bordering rice fields. The accomodation [[sic]] at Ka-nai was in an old temple in the town which was filled by the benches of school children & quite littered up with straw & dust. The town is of considerable size half Chinese & half Shan. The climate here was quite warm & the nights sultry & rainy.
