WRITES OF INDIA
(Continued from front patfe)
attempting to strike the little boy’s
hand but missed. Whether or not the
snakes were defended I was not told,
but any way he handled them as
though they were toys. An officer
and an enlisted man took pictures of
the native and cobra. From there
we went to the “Burning Ghats”
where corpses are burned and reduced
to ashes and then thrown into the
river a few feet away. There we
saw some 8 or 10 corpses, old and
young, and one old man was lying
on the ground waiting to die. Logs
are piled up, then the body is put on,
and then more logs are put on cov
ering the body. Then the pile of logs
is set on fire producing a large blaze,
not too large, and unbearable heat,
After a while the logs and body are
reduced to ashes. That was indeed
a sight worth seeing. From there
we visited the Mohammedan Temple
where again we were required to re
move our shoes. We were told that
it is Calcutta’s tallest structure. At
its top we were able to get a pano
rama view of the entire city which
covered an area of many miles
square. It was there that our guide
insisted that its population was 40
million people, however we knew
better. From there we visited the
famous “Black Foie of Calcutta
where in 1756, I think, about 146 sol
diers were imprisoned by the Indians
and only a few came out alive It must
have occurred during the time of the
British conquest of India. The hole
didn’t mean anything to me as its
surface had been covered by concrete
At a recent picture show there was
some crack about the Black Hole of
Calcutta.
After about 2 1-2 hours of travel
ling or sight-seeing the tour finally
came to an end. It was indeed worth
every penny that we spent. (One
thing I forgot to mention at those
different places we were called on to
make small contributions which we
were not aware of at the outset.)
I was amazed to find Calcutta so
modem in that practically all of In
dia is so primitive. There they have
modem up-to-date street cars or
trams and many taxis in operation
We had occasion to ride severl times
in richshaw, which was quite a bit of
fun. Those coolies or pushers can
really trot along at a fair rate of
speed pulling their little carts or bug
gies on two wheels.
We were lucky to run into an old
friend of ours who put us up in camp
(which is in the heart of the city)
without any cost at all. There we
enoyed eating some five or six good
old army meals. We took our re
maining meals at the Red Cross,
which were not too expensive.
Calcutta has a marvelous Red
Cross building which accommodates
approximately 350 soldiers with beds,
together with baths, all kinds of rec
reation—pool, ping pong, checkers
reading, etc. It operates a splendid
dining-room too.
Again, we saw numbers of little
naked children, cows on the streets
along the main drag, the diseased
and blind, and the so-called holy beg
gars some of whom were asleep on
the ground with the hot sun shining
on them.
Thus ends our visit to Calcutta.
