Barlow on the 29th December submitted a full Report, containing details of an extremely distressing character. He seemed to have felt bound to be very careful not to exaggerate or too highly colour his picture ; but, nevertheless, he gave his " re- vised opinion as to the prospective condition of the people " in the brief words of a previous telegram "Destitution general and complete, " adding, "it is that to which I most distinctly hold. " Nothing could have been more active or devoted than hi...s action. Mr. Ravenshaw forwarded his report and somewhat restrained his zeal. In January rice was not to be had in any quantities in the Puri district. Mr. Barlow, on the i5th wrote to the Executive Engineer with reference to the proposal for purchasing food for the labourers, and spoke of " a danger likely to interfere materially with, if not actually put a stop to, the works, " viz. , the want of food. He showed that, while as yet but 300 persons employed near the town made great complaints of the difficulty of procuring grain, and expressed great anxiety to receive rlieir wages in kind instead of money, when the numbers increased, and the distance from the town became greater, supplies would not be procurable, since " it is one of the features observable in the famine " that " the city is the only place where a certain supply (small though it be) of grain is to be found, while in various parts of the interior none at all is procur- able.
