Original text on this topic:
On 3 Dec 1903 we passed the divide between the Kajan and the Kelai rivers. We camped on the banks of a mountain stream, the Soengai Apo Kajan. It was wonderful to take bath. We had not found enough water for that purpose on the Mosberg [Moedoeng Boetoe, 115.50 E, 02.15 N]. Our cook had to fetch water and was afraid after he saw one morning a rhinoceros near the well.
The inhabitants of the first village in Apo Kajan often undertook long journeys to hunt ans at the same time to trade with the Poenans. The Poenans give them bezoarstones, rhinoceros horns and rotan mats for rice, tobacco and salt.
