Nagendra Natha Datta is about to travel by boat. It is the month
Joisto (May - June), the time of storms. His wife, Surja Mukhi, had
adjured him, saying, "Be careful; if a storm arises be sure you
fasten the boat to the shore. Do not remain in the boat." Nagendra
had consented to this, otherwise Surja Mukhi would not have
permitted him to leave home; and unless he went to Calcutta his
suits in the Courts would not prosper. Nagendra Natha was a young
man, about thirty years of age, a wealthy zemindar (landholder) in
Zillah Govindpur. He dwelt in a small village which we shall call
Haripur. He was travelling in his own boat. The first day or two
passed without obstacle. The river flowed smoothly on - leaped,
danced, cried out, restless, unending, playful. On shore, herdsmen
were grazing their oxen - one sitting under a tree singing, another
smoking, some fighting, others eating. Inland, husbandmen were
driving the plough, beating the oxen, lavishing abuse upon them, in
which the owner shared.
