THE BRIDGE-BUILDERS

The least that Findlayson, of the Public Works Department, expected
was a C. I. E.; he dreamed of a C. S. I.: indeed, his friends told
him that he deserved more. For three years he had endured heat and
cold, disappointment, discomfort, danger, and disease, with
responsibility almost too heavy for one pair of shoulders; and day
by day, through that time, the great Kashi Bridge over the Ganges
had grown under his charge. Now, in less than three months, if all
went well, his Excellency the Viceroy would open the bridge in state,
an archbishop would bless it, and the first trainload of soldiers
would come over it, and there would be speeches.
Findlayson, C.
