EXPLORATION HISTORY: 1938.11.23: Ursula Graham Bower picniced in cave under big rock in gorge, and then came back with escort of locals. Fine moon, sat outside basha and sang and got decidedly wonky [crooked; off-center; askew] on moonlight and Jeff's cocktails, ate large curry dinner, and so to bed (Graham Bower, U (1937-1940 Mss: Diaries kept on visits to Manipur and North Cachar).
