"Absolutely safe!" the Chief Commissioner assured him. "The caparisons may be doused in the Nerbudda, but the howdahs will not be in the least wet."

At a considerable distance from the rest of the mountain ridges, and perfectly separate, stand the Marble Rocks, a most wonderful natural phenomenon, not very rare, though, in India.

"Cross the Nerbudda; at a village called Hutteea, murdered a Hindoo. "Between Jokur and Dholeea met a sepoy of the shepherd caste; killed him in the jungle.

It was eleven in the forenoon and Skag reckoned they must be close to the Nerbudda when Nels halted even bristled a bit, his broad black muzzle quivering and held aloft.
