Excerpt from Indian Memories At Ceylon, and again at Cochin, we were glad to get our soiled clothes washed, and to lay in a stock of the refreshing and delicious fruits to be had at both places. I remember being much amused at the landing of some furniture which we had brought out for a merchant at Cochin, an enormous grand-piano constituting one of the articles landed. After a long voyage of five months and a half, varied by many incidents, all of which I cannot now recall, we reached Bombay at last, and bid our brave and kind commander and crew farewell.
