Holmes, who unfamiliar with that part of the river

of silver light fell upon
the murky waters of the
holy river, bearing sea-

flare of lamps revealed
to the occupants of the
launch the shrine of a
crocodile god, and fan
tastic figures pouring
libations over their idol.
River traffic had prac-
tically ceased at SUM-

Maserson with the idea that somehow he had unn-

might have been nothing serious than misunder-

But the Judge admirably to the occasion. He
had dned the previous night with the Chief Justice

great deal say about the administration of civil law
in India, and seized upon that excellent opportunity.
