At Kalpi a large barge, rowed by a number of men dressed in white, with pink sashes, came to meet the Hormuzzeer. "That's my budgero," said Merriman. "We'll get into it and row up to Calcutta in half the time it would take the ship.
At Gobindpur's reach, Merriman pointed out the pyramid of stone that marked the limit of the Company's jurisdiction. Soon the gardens of the British merchants came in sight, then the Company's docks, and at last the town of Calcutta, where the Company's landing stage was thronged with people awaiting the arrival of the budgero in the hope of getting news from home.
Each of us merchants has his own budgero, and instead of putting our men in buttons with our arms and all that nonsense, we give them colored sashes and don't our women squabble about the colors, my boy, just don't they!" In the budgero they passed the Dutch factory at Fulta, and the Subah's forts at Budge Budge and Tanna.
