Chapter 1: A Faithful Nurse.
On a swell of ground, in the wild country extending from Bombay to
the foot of the Ghauts, stood a small camp. In the centre was a
large pavilion; the residence, for the time, of Major Lindsay, an
officer whose charge was to keep the peace in the district. It was
no easy matter. The inhabitants, wild and lawless, lived in small
villages scattered about the rough country, for the most part
covered with forest, and subject to depredations by the robber
bands who had their strongholds among the hills. Major Lindsay had
with him a party of twenty troopers, not for defence--there was
little fear of attack by the natives of the Concan--but to add to
his authority, to aid in the collection of the small tax paid by
each community, and to deter the mountain robbers from descending
on to the plain. He generally spent the cool season in going his
rounds while, during the hot weather, his headquarters were at
Bombay.
