CALCUTTA, Later. Timely warning enabled thousands to escape from Bardwan. The officials employed elephants to the people to safety.
The Damodar is a river of Bengal. It rises in Chutia Nagpur, and flows 350 miles S.E. to the Hooghly. Bardwan is a city of Bengal 67 miles N.N.W. of Calcutta by rail. In point of architecture it is a miserable place —an aggregate, as it were, of 73 villages. It contains a palace of the Maharajas, and a large collection of temples. At latest computation its population was 35,080.
