A motor car that stopped on such a piece disappeared into the river and has not been seen silce. And some of these effects are curi oils.

Yet with all tle turmoIl and trouble the Indus has a charm of Its own, and it is iost fascinating to watch the work of elemental nature. This evening, as I saw the bank eo1 lapsing lilt by bit, I could not help thinking of the story of the engineer who built his bungalow a comfortatble mIle from the river.
