is no other passage over it except a foot bridge higher up. My house is nearer the higher bridge. Smith (when I saw him) was retreating from the river toward my house and the upper bridge. The nearest way from the river to his house was over the plank, which lay nearest the river. It was a longer way to go by the upper bridge. Above a hundred men were with Chamru. I saw Chamru dead, about an hour after he died. His body was then extremely swelled. Next day after the affray I saw wounds on Chamru, while he was alive at the Tana. I do not think that he died of those wounds or that they could have made his body swell in so short a time
