sary to say more on the subject; that the viceroy
had promised to meet me, and that I relied on
that promise being fulfilled ; and that, as to his
majesty's displeasure, the averting it did not rest
with me. I then ordered tea for them, and they
sent for the viceroy, who shortly after came
from his house where he had returned from the
palace. When the rayhoon saw his boat coming,
he went on shore to the bungalow, and then sent
to desire I would come on shore to receive the
viceroy. I desired he might be told that he had
made a mistake, that it was the viceroy Avho was
to receive me, and requested he would come on

complied with. I then sent up to the bungalow
a carpet with chairs, and, as soon as I saw the
viceroy near the bungalow, I landed and went

with two chairs at the end of the room ; the
viceroy pointed to me to sit down in the first
chair on his left hand, or, at the head of the left-
hand-row ; and seating himself in one of the end
chairs, he put his betel-box and smoking-apparatus
