Everywhere he was confronted with the most shocking and revolting scenes. He found the 106 IN FAMINE LAND famine camps stampeded by cholera and small-pox fu- gitives, who had come from distant points of infection. Many were dying in the fields and ditches and along the road-side. At Godhra, as has been related by Mr. J. E. Robinson, there were 3000 deaths from cholera in four days. Dr. Klopsch saw while there sixteen bodies incinerated, this method of disposing of the dead being general through...out the famine district. But in many places the cholera came on so suddenly and unexpectedly that there were no facilities for disposing of the dead in this manner. In fact, in some places the authorities were helpless, as all were in such a fright that no one would serve either to gather the stricken into hospitals or to dispose of the bodies of the dead. At Dohad, some fifty miles east of Godhra, he found a similar frightful condition of affairs, there having been 2500 deaths from cholera. The air of the place was stifling and strongly impregnated with the frightful odor of hundreds of decaying bodies which lay about un- buried.
