gg g», .{jpg of each %ee4 there is also-;a smailsr .gate on eachside
of the great gate., equidistant between it and the angle of the fort,
comprizingt tw.elye gates in all. At each angle of the fort .there is a:
^iTadranOTiJpr bj^tipp, th&t jjrcpgtS; CJMliydgfghl^. ,TJjpe are also g e lif t;
smaller bastions on each side, including,those.that are over the gateways.
Between each .of tiiesê.bastions is. extended ,a curtain about two hundred
yards long. From this calculation, a side of the fort occupies two thousand
four hundred-yards; .the Birmans, however, called' iFfour thousand, nine
hundred royal, cubits, which I conceive, to. be an, exaggerated account.
Every bastion and gateway is, covered, by a tiled roof, supported! on four
pillars’ of wood, to prevent injury from the lodgment of rain.
At each comer, of the fort there is a gilded temple-, nearly One hundred-
feet in-height, but so insignificant, comparatively, with those we had j.ust
seen, as not to attract particular notice, g
We could perceive, from Our elephants, the roof .of a range of .buildings
in.the' inside, parallel to the.walls, and extending along one .entire side .of.
the fort, which otm conductors, said was., the public granary, and- J*b?Rr
rooms.
