Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Indian Hills, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Coffee-Planting in Southern India
Colonel F returning to Madras with his wife and two daughters, was clearly to be ranked amongst the former, and it was plain to see some half-dozen young men scattered up and down the table were amongst the latter. I knew them much better before long, and found them excellent fellows, all very confident in their own abilities, and fully determined to make fortunes when they got out, but all with very vague ideas of India and coffee - planting, for which most of them - like myself - were bound. Amongst the other passengers were several ladies grass-widows going to look after their husbands, and young ladies going out to their parents; so there was small fear of a dull voyage.
