Sabu told us afterwards, he lost hold of the rope. Just Sabu wins as well we didn't know that as we watched them — his little figure holding on for dear life, the mahout, and the head of the elephant bobbing like a cork as the current bore them down, down. Below them, fortunately, the river made a wide bend. Here at last they touched bottom and clambered up on shore. We all broke out shouting. Sabu waved. There was no longer any doubt who was to be our elephant boy ! Chittaranjan Mahal. July 12th. Darlings, Oh how this monsoon wind is blowing, and how Monsoon it blows around this house ! Usually it dies down a bit "ina between sunset and sunrise and there is only a faint moaning around the eaves and through the window cracks. But last night there was such a blast I couldn't sleep. With the window shut, my mosquito net slapped and banged like a ship's sail. And I couldn't help thinking of you two, if this wind keeps on, in the Indian Ocean. You would be going up and down, the way I dreamed of seas that mounted so high that I couldn't see their tops above the sky-scrapers and then came down sickeningly, and there was a wee boat going up and down on them. Horrible dream! I am very brave to let you come. 61
