One character in it was a chief of Thugs--"Feringhea"-- a mysterious and terrible Indian who was as slippery and sly as a serpent, and as deadly; and he stirred up the Thug interest once more.

But it did not last.

It presently died again this time to stay dead.
At first glance it seems strange that this should have happened; but really it was not strange--on the contrary--it was natural; I mean on our side of the water.

For the source whence the Thug tales mainly came was a Government Report, and without doubt was not republished in America; it was probably never even seen there.

Government Reports have no general circulation.
