On the following morning, Mr.Park sent his horse-pistols and holsters as a present to the king, and informed him that he wished to leave Kemmoo as soon as he could procure a guide.

In about an hour the king returned thanks for his present, and sent a party of horsemen to conduct him to Jarra.

On that night he slept at a village called Marena, where, during the night, some thieves broke into the hut where the baggage was deposited, cut open one of Mr.Park's bundles, and stole a quantity of beads, part of his clothes, some amber and gold.

The following day was far advanced before they recommenced their journey, and the excessive heat obliged them to travel but slowly.

In the evening they arrived at the village of Toorda, when all the king's people turned back with the exception of two, who remained to guide Mr.Park and his attendants to Jarra.
On the 15th of February they departed from Toorda, and about two o'clock came to a considerable town called Funing-kedy, where being informed that the road to Jarra was much infested by the moors, and that a number of people were going to that town on the following day, Mr.Park resolved to stay and accompany them.
