Sepoys in uniform stood watching the scene. A hymn was sung, and Mr. Bronson went down into the water, and stood facing the gap. The first to follow was Bhupati. Omed came next, every inch a soldier, with head erect, and steady, unwavering steps, then Ramke, and last of all, the two tottering pilgrims, hand in hand. Five times over the waters parted in token of burial and reunion with Him who rose again from the dead. The temple bell was answered. The mighty current, with its secret, flowing half around the Garo Hills, rolled on its way.
