I had never ridden in a teapoy before and now I began a continuous trip in one which lasted eight hours. |
With the crimson banner flying and the teapoy carriers singing and playing rude native instruments, we started off at a trot. |
The fact that I had to resort to the teapoy illustrates the unreliability of mechanical transport in the wilds. |
Then the hypnotist asked us to remove our hands from the top of the teapoy. |
After we had thus been seated for about five minutes there was a rap on the leg of the teapoy. |
The black personnel was thirty porters and a picked squad of thirty-five teapoy boys to carry Moody and myself. |
