We entered into conversation with those who gathered around us. We asked if there was any pundit, any learned man in the village; and if there was we were happy to see him come, as we knew the people would look on us with less suspicion if he was present. In many places they were so unaccustomed to the sight of Europeans that they looked on us with a mingled feeling of curiosity and fear.
"You had better come again if you mean to meet him by that." "He has come on part of the way, and will reach this by some other train," said Lopez. "There ain't nothing he can come by," said the pundit. "Gentlemen can't wait here all day, sir. The horders is against waiting on the platform." "All right," said Lopez, moving away as though to make his exit through the station.
The following morning I sought out Behari Pundit, my Sanskrit professor at Scottish Church College. "Sir, you have told me of your friendship with a great disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya.

Departure from San Francisco Nature man left behind Fellow-passengers on the Noa-Noa Tragedy of the Chinese pundit Strange stories of the South Seas The Tahitian Hula. The warning gong had sent all but crew and passengers ashore, though our ship did not leave the dock. Her great bulk still lay along the piling, though the gangway was withdrawn.
Savage Landor is fully borne out by his two servants, and, moreover, the Tibetans who took part in it did not try to hide it. In the Rev. Harkua Wilson's tent at Taklakot, before Peshkár Kharak Sing, Pundit Gobaria, and a large number of Bhutias, several Tibetan officials corroborated the whole account as related by Mr. Landor.

I have mentioned the new resources opened up to them, and yet it must be acknowledged that many are poor.
They said we were brothers in misfortune!" Whereat this learned pundit laughed good-humouredly. It may be that Dr. Traill is the long-range rifleman of whom a Land League man remarked, on hearing that the marksman had made a long series of bull's eyes "The saints betune us an' harm but wouldn't he make an iligant tenant!"
