Thayet-myo, from the Steamer, looking south. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Thayet-myo, from the Steamer, looking south.’
THIS place is the ‘Sirraip-mew’ of Colonel Symes, and ‘Head Quarters of the British Frontier Brigade’ (‘Captain Yule’s Report, page 228’). It is five miles below the Frontier Magazine, and Ordnance Depot and station of Meaday, and about eleven from the frontier itself, on the western side of the river.
In this plate, looking south, is seen the face of the wooded hill, in some part of which, as noticed in the Report (‘page 229’) a seam of coal was found; but unfortunately not of a character to promise any advantage in its exploration.
In the plain or valley, at the northern end of this hill, enshrouded by vegetation, is seen a white pagoda, the first and only one of its peculiar character met with before reaching Pagan-myo. (‘See Captain Tripe’s Photograph of the pagoda, No. 6’.)
