DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1880, Isabella Bird visited the Malay Peninsula - romantically dubbed "The Golden Chersonese" - and was still able to refer to it as an almost unknown land. The world's most famous female travel writer of the nineteenth century set sail from Japan and called at Hong Kong, Canton and Saigon before reaching Singapore. Bearing letters of introduction to the elite of Malacca and Penang, Bird was able to observe life on the west coast of the peninsula before steaming upriver through mangrove swamps to explore the interior of the land. From courtroom to elephant back, from the grandeur of Malacca's Stadthuys to the jungle calm of a picturesque Malay village on stilts, this indefatigable Victorian explorer offers invaluable descriptions and delightful hand-drawn sketches of life in late nineteenth-century Singapore and the Malay Peninsula.

Not illustrated. 1876. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII. A Summer Tour In The Bw6-karen Country. In the hot season of 1869, when the arid heat of the plains made the English cantonments almost intolerable, we were not sorry that duty and pleasure combined, rendered it desirable that we should take up our residence in that portion of the district, inhabited by a tribe called Bghai, or Bwe, the least known, although not the least important of the three great families into which ethnologists have found it convenient to divide the Karen race. Bghai, the English equivalent of the Karen spelling, as rendered by the missionaries, is somewhat arbitrarily required to be pronounced Bway or Btof. We propose, therefore, to adopt the phonetic spelling. The Bw6s are the most numerous of the three families, and comprise in their body, the Kayos or Red Karen3, Tsawkoos, Padoungs, Hashwies, Prays, and other minor clans. The Bw& proper are found on the left bank of the Sittang, immediately above Toungoo, south of the Gaykhos, having the Tsawkoos and other cognate clans to their east. Those located on the affluents of the river wear short drawers like the Gaykhos, with radiating red lines near the bottom, while those south of them wear a white armless sack-like garment, with perpendicular bands fashioned like those patronized by many other tribes. The missionaries have accordingly distinguished them by the names of Pant Bghai (Bw6) and Tunic Bghai (Bwe) on account of these peculiarities in their dress. Similar designations are given them by the Burmese who also call them Leik-bya-gyee (Great Butterfly) and Leik-bya-gnay (Little Butterfly) probably from some fancied resemblance in their dress to these insects. The appellation Bwe1 is borrowed from the Sgan Karens, and the people recognise the term so far as to apply ...
