For little as he suspected it the senior guessed the young man's trouble and watched him sympathisingly. One never-to-be-forgotten day as Wargrave was returning from afternoon parade Colonel Dermot called to him from his gate and showed him a telegram. It ran: "Tiger marked down. Come immediately dâk bungalow, Madpur Duar. Muriel."
G. and her maid came behind with recent fragile purchases; pottery, in another bullock-cart, with an older Burman whose face was a delight so wrinkled, and wreathed with smiles. I tailed behind and sketched as per margin, as we went through the sand shockingly unacademical wasn't it, to draw walking? Our first Dak bungalow experience was short.
I got my baggage in it and landed upon British soil at the other side. The Dâk bungalow is just above, but we were very much crowded as all the other people remained for the night. After dinner a great thunderstorm took place accompanied with very heavy rain. SEPTEMBER 11th.

The two following days were spent wandering about without guides, trying to keep the track Grant had taken after leaving us, crossing at first a line of small hills, then traversing grass and jungle, like the dak of India.
The depressingly bare, whitewashed bedroom owned a French bedstead, with brass rails; a welcome 'find' in a dák bungalow, especially after three very broken nights in an Indian train.
