Following the Equator

CHAPTER XLVI
17/21

But this small trip of Feringhea's Forty had some little variety about it.

Once they came across a man hiding in a grave -- a thief; he had stolen 1,100 rupees from Dhunroj Seith of Parowtee.
They strangled him and took the money.

They had no patience with thieves.
They killed two treasure-bearers, and got 4,000 rupees.

They came across two bullocks "laden with copper pice," and killed the four drivers and took the money.

There must have been half a ton of it.
