266 ADIEU TO SINDH. 



There we remained till the afternoon, my fever 

 on the increase. So ill indeed was I, that on 

 reaching the Traveller's Bungalow at Kurrachee, 

 I was only just able to request Major Goldsmid, 

 by note, to send a medical officer to see me ; and 

 to Dr Nicholson's great skill and unremitting at- 

 tention do I, under Providence, ascribe my re- 

 covery, for I was six days in a very touch-and- 

 go state, completely prostrate from fever, and 

 with a large anthrax on my breast ; but, 

 once again able to take exercise, I rapidly re- 

 covered strength, and the thoughts of soon 

 again beholding the loved ones in England 

 contributed to my perfect recovery. On the 

 22nd September I quitted Kurrachee with a 

 pleasant party returning from the Punjaub, and 

 here I bid a long adieu to Sindh.
