A WEEK OF DISASTER 111 



He had his faults, but he served me faithfully 

 for several years, and I was much grieved at his 

 death. He left a mother and a widow for whom 

 I made provision, but both of them are now dead. 



The Gond who was injured reached Balaghat 

 safely, and recovered completely after treatment 

 for some time in the Balaghat hospital. A 

 friend of mine in the Forest Department inter- 

 viewed him a year or two afterwards and said 

 that he appeared surprised at so much notice 

 being taken of his mishap, which at that time, 

 at any rate, appeared to him to be a matter 

 of no particular importance.
