| With the crimson banner flying and the teapoy carriers singing and playing rude native instruments, we started off at a trot. |
| The black personnel was thirty porters and a picked squad of thirty-five teapoy boys to carry Moody and myself. |
| William Jaquith went to a certain corner and brought out a teapoy of violet wood, which he set down at the old lady's elbow. |
| After we had thus been seated for about five minutes there was a rap on the leg of the teapoy. |
| I had none so the teapoy capita fished out a big red bandanna handkerchief, which he tied to a stick. |
| I had never ridden in a teapoy before and now I began a continuous trip in one which lasted eight hours. |
