At one time it was the heavy hurt of a boy, son of a Syud, one of the 'pure lineage', a descendant of the family of the Prophet, on which the populace, roused by the lashing lamentations of the father, damaged the car and tore up the line.

On another occasion a man, in obstinate disregard of warning, tried to enter at the front, and was thrown under the wheels.

Again the excitable bystanders were worked up to fury and violence, and the Governor of the town gave judgment against the company for 'blood-money'.

The counter-claim for damage done to the line enabled a compromise to be effected.

Oriental indifference is the chief cause of the accidents.
