AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'At a station in Hydrabad a prominent English contractor suddenly, disappears from his home and leaves no trace. Although sufficient time elapses for news by the ordinary mail to reach a relative in England, and for the relative to rush out to India, no particular agitation seems to have been occasioned to the Anglo-Indians in the district, apart from a few immediately concerned. Subsequently the man's wife is missing, and enquiries are organized through the native police, who are in the pay of the dangerous Brahmin suspected of the responsibility of the affair. The double search continues for some weeks, when the sister-in-law disappears from the same house. A frenzied disturbance on the part of a couple of her lovers frustrates the designs of the truly melodramatic villain, and effects a satisfactory rescue of the whole party.'
