Otter “… commenced survey through the jungle by road which has now been cleared for 20 miles … we shall be away for a month or more & we take neither horses or mules so our tents etc must be carried by men of whom we shall require nearly 30. I shall take my rifle with me for the chance of a shot at wild boars or tigers but not my gun as in the dense jungle there seems to be no birds”. Very scare item from Resht on the Caspian Sea.
