"That's all you know?" "Yes at present I expect to discover more, though, in a day or two." "Just write your name and address on one of those envelopes," said the sub-inspector, pointing to a stationery case on his table.
On his return, he told me the blacks had been there during the wet season, and had dug up Johan Strau's grave, and carried off the bodies.

Hiramani spoke in faltering accents and wiped away an imaginary tear with the corner of her cloth. "How did yon learn all this?" asked Debendra Babu in deep anxiety. "I got the news only last night from the wife of the new Sub-Inspector who has come here on transfer.
