The boys' blankets suffice for warmth during the night, when the thermometer sinks to 64 deg.-60 deg., but no one else has covering sufficient; some huts in process of building here show that a thick coating of plaster is put on outside the roof before the grass thatch is applied; not a chink is left for the admission of air.
Ohitikola was absent from Paritala when we arrived on some _milando_ or other.

These _milandos_ are the business of their lives.

They are like petty lawsuits; if one trespasses on his neighbour's rights in any way it is a _milando_, and the headmen of all the villages about are called on to settle it.

Women are a fruitful source of _milando_.
A few ears of Indian corn had been taken by a person, and Chitikola had been called a full day's journey off to settle this _milando_.

He administered _Muave_[33] and the person vomited, therefore innocence was clearly established! He came in the evening of the 21st footsore and tired, and at once gave us some beer.
