Mr. C. R. JATN'S ACTIVITIES IN AMERICA 27
The translation of Dilaram's couplet is as follows:
Sacrifice away, 0 King, thine two Rooks; no need to part with Dilaram; attack with the bishop and the pawn': and then check mate with the Knight!
To me it seems that the solution is correct on the above diagram.
9-10-33: 11-20 a.m.
The sea has been rough since yesterday. The boat is rolling heavily at this time. A smaller vessel would have caused much trouble and sickness. I am not much disturbed by the agitation of the waves.
Messrs. Anvar and Nicoloff have returned their books. They have not been very much impressed by them. The former believes in my views to a certain extent, but thinks religion unsuitable as man's need is worldly power and wealth. The latter has taken some quotations from the book lent to him.
Yesterday I met a German passenger, Herr Schreckenberg, who is an enthusiastic Christian. He came to realize as the result of a little talk I had with him, but without any metaphysical assistance from me, that the true christian teaching aims at the ridding of the spirit from the flesh; but he is still involved in superstition. I have lent him a copy of Jainism, Christianity and Science” which he will return to me this afternoon. He is leaving the boat to-morrow morning at 5 a.m.. At 10-30 a.m. this boat will reach Southampton where I shall disembark.
