250 A STREET IX LAHORE.
LAHORE 251 The air was thick with the smoke of incessant salutes, and all day long one heard the guns continuously boom- ing. I, too, paid my state visits to the Maharajahs of Patiala and Kapurthala, but did not attempt to see the retiring Governor, as I knew his time would be more profitably occupied than in granting me an interview. Both Patiala and Kapurthala told me that there was com- paratively little famine within their districts, and that it was only a few of the
... hill-tribes who were affected, but that there was plenty of food-supply in the plains for all needs. Both princes most courteously invited me to visit their kingdoms, but as time was flying I was, much to my regret, obliged to plead more important business in the North-West. I called, too, upon Mr. Fenton, the Revenue Secretary of Government. He most kindly gave me every assistance, and placed a series of all the public reports in my hands. I told him that I was very anxious to get up to the Jhelum canal-works by Lala Musa, and he most courteously said he would telegraph to Captain Douglas, who was in charge of the works, and tell him I was coming up to see him and his charge.
