Summary: Hutton and Shakespear (probably) with a dog and a group of soldiers and Chang Coolies. The Coolies searched the jungle around the village, finding pigs hidden in holes underground, so placed that they could not root their way out, and paddy buried in earthenware pots. 30 or 40 old skull trophies were also found hidden, probably mainly heads from Kamahu, though one fairly recent one was pointed out as having come from Mongnyu.
