Note 7 — Chapter I · JOURNEY FROM DARJILING TO TASHILHUNPO.
Reading edition

Crossing a number of brooks which empty into the Rishi, we came to some cowsheds, where I would have liked to have rested; but no rest was possible, for I could see the leeches7 spanning their length with swift but measured paces, making for me with haste.
