SometIimes eveni In in single iilght the

yellow satitik in Its place.
The hiink itself becomes Jagged like
a pece( of bread into which a child las

The 'water swirls ever Inward and

the erIcks deepen, and without warn

crumbles away. A motor car that
stopped on such a piece disappeared
into the river and has not been seen

The flotsam and Jetsam of life and
death go eddying past oh the bosom of
the strenm. Heresa dead camel, there
a bevy of Jam tins catches the eye and
fades -away downstrean.
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

water was lapping at his garden gate.
