Jawaharlal Nehru and an Englishman were wandering across the
mountainous country. Hot and weary they reached a little hotel and demanded
bath. Such a thing had not been heard there and there was no provision for it
in the building.
They were told however that they could wash themselves in
the neighbouring steam. So, armed with napkins or perhaps with small face
towels, which the hotel generously gave them, they went to the roaring torrent,
which was coming from the glacier nearby. Jawaharlal slipped and fell and the
ice-cold water benumbed him and made him lose sensation and the power of
controlling his limbs as well. He was swept rapidly along the torrent. His
companion, the Englishman, however managed to get him out along the other side
by catching his leg and dragging him out.
