r a large village on the Nempyokha, which is here
scarcely 40 yards broad; it is of no depth, and has not much stream. The
villagers are Meereps, but seem to bear a small proportion to their
Assamese slaves. It is not stockaded, but was so formerly. The Souba,
like a Hero and a General, has erected a small stockade for himself near
his house, out of which he might be with ease forced by a long spear, or
a spear-head fastened to a bamboo. He is an enemy of the Duphas, indeed
almost all appear to be so. Whatever events the return of this Gam to
Assam may cause, it appears obvious to me, that the feuds in Hookhoom
will not cease but with his death. So much is he hated, that B. informs
me that his destruction is meditated directly the Meewoon retires to
Mogam.
