Excerpt from Eighteen Hundred Miles on a Burmese Tat: Through Burmah, Siam, and the Eastern Shan States Siam was the country chosen. Lying as it does side by side, throughout its length, with our new kingdom of Burmah, little known, and never thor oughly explored, it promised an interesting opening to the explorer and sportsman. Having settled on the country, it was determined to penetrate into it by land from British Burmah, as being more expeditious and likely to afford better sport, and not up one of the great rivers from the Gulf of Siam. How ever, I may as well anticipate so far as to say that we got no shooting worth speaking of throughout our long journey, the reader therefore who is on the look-out for a book on Sport in Siam, may knock off without taking the trouble to read any more.
