When the Queen was Majestic

摘要

In this part of the feature of Darjeeing Plantations, Lt. Col. Hannangan has detailed the characteristics of Mr. E. Canning which fascinated him most. Ever-smiling face was Mr. Canning's distinctive feature, and this acted as a magic spell in bringinga sense of renewed hope to the most despairing heart, says the writer. Indeed, we read or hear a lot about the great part played by European planters in laying the foundation of tea industry in Darjeeling. But the mosaic of Darjeeling plantations will probably lose much of its colour if the names of a few Indian enthusiastics of those dyas are not remembered in this context. We, as such, unfold the old files to reproduce the narration of Nara Bhup Rai.
