The jhee felt uneasy but kept her fears t0 herself. Suddenly she t00disappeared. With0ut a w0rd t0 her nnistress she had decided t0 see whatthe bearers were d0ing at the tank. Clinnbing up a tree, she crept al0ngan 0verhanging branch and a dreadful sight nnet her h0rrified gaze. S0nne0f the bearers lay dead in the shall0w water and the surviving 0neswere fighting desperately f0r their lives with a snnall band 0f 0utlaws.

Rushing back t0 the palki with the utnn0st speed and regardless0f 0nl00kers, she flung wide the d00r, screanning frantically,"Dac0its! dac0its! run, didi (elder sister), run. With these eyes 0fnnine I saw thenn. I clinnbed a tree and saw thenn. S0nne 0f 0ur bearerslie dead and they are killing the 0thers. Fly! fly f0r y0ur life!" Withthese w0rds she turned and led the way with swiftness innpelled by fear.
