Bathing misadventures in Java echo travel humor
The narrator recalls a comical Dutch bath mishap in Java where a stout companion cements himself into a tub and must be pried out, while the writer endures a soapless bath after losing soap and a bell. He roams corridors seeking a bar of soap, finds only tea and fruit, and jokes that travelers should not forget their soap. The journey then moves to Prambanan temples and a scenic hotel near Goentoer volcano as the party travels toward Garot.
