One day the prince sent our colonel an Invitation for the officers to come up to his palace and have afternoon tea. We all went, and after during which some of us drank more wine than tea, Adams especially, we were taken into the private apartments where the men were kept and suffered to mingle with them quite freely, considering we were in India and the home of an In- magnate. When we got back to our quarters Adams confided to me that he had had an impromptu affair with a young Indian girl; that be had seized an opportunity when unobserved to lead her into an apartment filled with tropical plants and, concealed by the enormous leaves of one of them, had kissed her. Just as they were leaving the apartment they heard a rustle behind them, and the girl had turned ghastly pale. In another min- they had separated.

Adams heard that the girl was in her usual condition in the palace and ceased to worry about her. Then, when we changed stations, all suspicion that Adams would have to suffer for his Indiscretion removed. He was ready for another affair as before, and only an opportunity was wanting. arriving at our new station the native ruler of the province enter- us at palace. I feared that Adams might get Into another scrape, so I kept an eye on him. I tried to get to promise me that he would not, and especially that he wouldn't drink any wine, for wine made his absolute recklessness. He would promise nothing, and I knew that there was such a fascination for him In danger that I resolved to watch him all the closer. I never let him out of my sight till n servant came to me and told me the host wished especially that I should he presented to him.
