There is no apparent literary [[strikethrough]] work [[/strikethrough]] investigation or scientific being done in Calcutta at least the libraries of both the A.S. & the Museum are quite unused, only the librarians & their assistants being in evidence. This afternoon as I was returning from Kidderpur I met Cook's manager who told me that the Teesta would sail tomorrow at 8 A.M. instead of 5 P.M. 23 At 8 A.M. I left the Hotel in a taxi for Outram dock 10 minutes away where we boarded a launch and steamed down the river to below the Botanic Gardens where the Teesta was at anchor in mid stream.
