i The station before which the compartment became unbearably crowded. Paino
ii. The narrator refers this as 'tea' in the passage. tonni Wojler
On the 12" instant I booked at Bombay for Madras by the mail train and paid 13.9. It was
labelled to carry 22 passengers. These could only have seating accommodation. There were
no bunks in this carriage whereon passengers could lie with any degree of safety or comfort.
There were two nights to be passed in this train before reaching Madras. If not more than 22
passengers found their way into my carriage before we reached Poona, it was because the
bolder ones kept the others at bay. With the exception of two or three insistent passengers, all
had to find their sleep being seated all the time. After reaching Raichur the pressure became
unbearable. The rush of passengers could not be strayed. The fighters among us found the
task almost beyond them. The guards or other railway servants came in only to push in more
passengers. A defiant Memon merchant protested against this packing of passengers like
sardines. In vain did he say that this was his fifth night on the train. The guard insulted him
and referred him to the management at the terminus. There were during this night as many as
35 passengers in the carriage during the greater part of it. Some lay on the floor in the midst
of dirt and some had to keep standing. A free fight was, at one time, avoided only by the
intervention of some of the older passengers who did not want to add to the discomfort by an
exhibition of temper. On the way passengers got for tea tannin water with filthy sugar and a
whitish looking liquid mis-called milk which gave this water a muddy appearance. I can
vouch for the appearance, but I cite the testimony of the passengers as to the taste. Not during
the whole of the journey was the compartment once swept or cleaned. The result was that
every time you walked on the floor or rather cut your way through the passengers seated on
the floor, you waded through dirt. The closet was also not cleaned during the journey and
there was no water in the water tank.
2) The Memon merchant was treated unjustly during the journey. Explain.
