Kohima

When they arrived at Kohima, the village sat under a pall of dread, and their advent was hailed with delight.

It is the man-eater who was taken from Kohima by the rajah, and is now back; he has cunning, for a spirit goes with him, sahib.

Mahadua, the hunter guide, led the three sahibs always in the direction of Kohima, sometimes finding a few pugs in soft earth.

Kohima, which had sent a challenge, was destroyed on February 11th, 1851.

On this occasion, Kohima and other villages were subdued, as already stated, and an annual tribute exacted by Manipur.
