JOURNEY ENDED
The Indian who crawled to Hardwar, India, in fulfilment of a vow, has died on his journey home. He set out with his two sons last August from the State of Sirniur to cover five miles a day for 60 days on his hands and knees because he had vowed to do so if his sons recovered from typhoid. Both his sons died on the journey to Hardwar, but the father reached his goal. Crawlinc laboriously home, however, the father too has passed on, his spirit triumphant over his bodily sufferings to the last.
