dak bungalow

Care was taken not to interfere with Europeans, for the twofold reason, that they seldom carried about with them anything more valuable than their firearms, and that they would certainly be missed, and close inquiries instituted to account for their disappearance. Besides, there was little chance of persuading a European to accept their company, or to rest anywhere save in his own tent, or in a Dakh bungalow.

There is a good sarái or inn for native travellers, and a dák bangalow or resting-place for Europeans.

Seeing that a fair proportion of the tragedy of our lives out here acted itself in dâk-bungalows, I wondered that I had met no ghosts. A ghost that would voluntarily hang about a dâk-bungalow would have to be mad course; but so many men have died mad in dâk-bungalows, that there must be a fair percentage of lunatic ghosts.
