The vessels used to be moored at the ghaut at the bottom of Hare Street, as there were no jetties in those days. |
The distance from the intrenchment to the ghaut is barely a mile. |
The old Mugger knows that a boy has been born in that house, and must some day come down to the ghaut to play. |
Our two Aurungpore officers were gazing upon the waters of the Ganges, some distance east of the ghaut, silent and meditative. |
In an hour and a half after this, we reached and crossed the river scend, about two miles from the top of the ghaut. |
What a contrast between the turmoil and devilry of it and the serene calmness of the all but solitude the ghaut now presents! |
