An Australian in China

CHAPTER XX
3/37

That famous dacoit, the outlawed Prince of Wuntho--the Wuntho Sawbwa--lives here, an exile sheltered by the Chinese Government.

A pure Burmese himself, the father-in-law of the amiable Sawbwa of Santa, he is believed by the Government of Burma to have been "concerned in all the Kachin risings of 1892-1893." A reward of 5000 rupees is offered for his head, which will be paid equally whether the head be on or off the shoulders.

Another famous outlaw, the Shan Chief Kanhliang, is also believed to be in hiding in the neighbourhood of Tengyueh.

The value of _his_ head has been assessed at 2000 rupees.
Tengyueh is more a park than a town.

The greater part of the city within the walls is waste land or gardens.
