Description: Bombay, western gateway to India, shows beautiful streets and magnificent buildings—next to a squalid old native city, where the street sprinkler is two-legged and carries a goat-skin reservoir on his back. Concrete is mixed by machine and carried into place by women laborers. Caste marked Hindoos mingle with rich young Mohammedans. Towers of Silence, are abodes of the vultures who wait to dispose of the dead. From Bombay the regular journey runs southward along the western coast of India, toward Ceylon
