Days, however, grew into weeks, for the favourable time was already past, and the opportunity of meeting with ship conveyance was there very rare. Herr Wattenbach made my stay in Bombay very agreeable; he showed me everything worth seeing, and accompanied me in excursions to Elephanta and Salsette.
One had a great success and was freely copied the sincerest flattery and the preface to the annual for 1840 publicly thanked the "gifted writer" for his "valuable aid." At the beginning of 1839 he went into new rooms vacated by Mr. Meux, and set to work finally on "Salsette and Elephanta."
In spite of the fun they were having at Mountain Camp, the thought that Shadyside and Salsette might begin classes before they could get there was, after all, rather shocking. "Measles is one thing," said Bob. "But being out of bounds when classes really begin is another. The other fellows will learn some tricks that we don't know."
In 1779 General Goddard, who was now in command at Bombay, entered into negotiations with Nana Furnuwees. These were carried on for some months; but were brought to a conclusion by Nana declaring that the surrender of Salsette, and the person of Rugoba, who was again a fugitive in Bombay, were preliminaries to any treaty.
There is nothing peculiar about him, except a slight stiffness, caused by a riding-strain, in the right leg. They burnt a corpse upon the sand The light shone out afar; It guided home the plunging boats That beat from Zanzibar. Spirit of Fire, where'er Thy altars rise.

After a hearty picnic meal the boys helped the girls gather up their branches and walked with them to the point where their boats were tied. They had rowed over because of the attraction of the woods Salsette being located on the flat side of the lake and now they must go back for the afternoon drill that was never omitted even for such an important occasion as the colonel's birthday.
The town was then in ruins, having been burned to the ground by a Russian squadron in the year 1807. Next morning, Byron, with a party of officers, left the ship to visit the ruins of Alexandria Troas, and landed at an open port, about six or seven miles to the south of where the Salsette was at anchor.
"Salsette boys this way!" boomed a stentorian voice. "Good-bye, Betty. See you soon," whispered Bob, giving Betty's hand a hurried squeeze. "We're only across the lake, you know." "You chaps, move!" directed the voice snappily. With one accord the group dissolved, the boys hastening to the stage marked "Salsette" and the girls following Miss Anderson.
In the island of Salsette near Bombay, when a woman is in hard labour, all locks of doors or drawers are opened with a key to facilitate her delivery.
