I HAD just returned down the river with Richard-son from Tangkulap. Tangkulap is a journey ofseveral days up the Kinabatangan River inBritish North Bra-neo. Richardson was the magis-trate for this district, and his rule extended overpractically the whole of this river, Tangkulapbeing his headquarters. Only three or four whitemen had ever been up the river as far as Tang-kulap, it being a very lonely spot in the midst ofdense forests, with no other white man livinganywhere near. I had stayed with him for twomonths, making large natural history coUectionsand seeing a great deal of both native and animallife. We had then returned down the river in. AT BATU PUTEH 225 Richardsons gobang (canoe) to Batu Puteh, a large tobacco estate, and the only one on thisriver. Here we were the guests of Paul Brietag, the manager, a most hospitable German. He andhis three German, French, and Dutch assistantswere the only other white men on the whole ofthis great river. While here, Richardson and I determined tovisit the wonderful Gomanton birds-nest caves, from which great quantities of edible birds nestsare annually taken. Very few Europeans hadever visited them, though they are consideredamong the wonders of the world. We left Batu Puteh in Richardsons canoe earlyone morning, and, although we had a strongstream with us going down, we did not reachBiUt tiU evening.
