In the centre was a\u003cbr\u003elarge pavilion; the residence, for the time, of Major Lindsay, an\u003cbr\u003eofficer whose charge was to keep the peace in the district. It was\u003cbr\u003eno easy matter. The inhabitants, wild and lawless, lived in small\u003cbr\u003evillages scattered about the rough country, for the most part\u003cbr\u003ecovered with forest, and subject to depredations by the robber\u003cbr\u003ebands who had their strongholds among the hills. Major Lindsay had\u003cbr\u003ewith him a party of twenty troopers, not for defence--there was\u003cbr\u003elittle fear of attack by the natives of the Concan--but to add to\u003cbr\u003ehis authority, to aid in the collection of the small tax paid by\u003cbr\u003eeach community, and to deter the mountain robbers from descending\u003cbr\u003eon to the plain. He generally spent the cool season in going his\u003cbr\u003erounds while, during the hot weather, his headquarters were at\u003cbr\u003eBombay.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175796392176,"sku":"2940013289000","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013289000_p0.jpg?v=1763579279","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013289000","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
