De Wilde tells how he made a trip to the well-known sulphur lake in the district Wanaradja. He was following the paths made by rhinos to a place called Padjagalang or Slaughter Place, because in this place many animals which venture in this area, are found dead. Between all the bones which cover the ground, he found the skeletons of two tigers, numerous snakes, lizards, beetles and rats, but the trail of the rhinoceros proceeded right through the middle and there was even fresh dung to proof that the animal walked here without any fear.
