and one more:
»amounted to just 200 men
[Nagas] [??], of several carts –

Think it says "of the sepoys"??
Can't make out the other part

sepoys of his Highness might amount to about?

Skoosh.

[JanSeifert]

That makes perfect sense. Thank you.

the other part may read:
»
amounted to just 200 men,
Nagas all, of several carts –
the porters of the sepoys and his
Highness might amount to about
600 more,
«

Its probably more Shakespear than Shakespeare, but (to my knowledge) fits the tone of this kind of reports.

Hi Jan,

Nagas had me stumped, but I have discovered they are people associated with the North Eastern part of India.

The Diary of Jenkins deals basically with the »first contact« between the British and the Naga.
The tour is always mentioned, but nobody did actually the work to read (or publish) the original source. It's there in the British Library since I do not know when. Thought, I should give it a try

The Naked Naga's presumably, Hindu warriors?
