January 29 Wednesday – Sam and Carlyle G. Smythe made a “flying trip” to Poona, returning to Bombay the following morning. Sam’s notebook:
Jan. 29. Left for Poona — (southeast).
At the mountain station of Lonauli — 12.30 am, was given that remarkable circus bill. Been passing through ghats since 10 or 11 (now 12.30) [NB 36 TS 28]. (Fears)

"...five hours away to the southeast by train. Smythe went with him; Livy and Clara stayed behind at the Watson's Hotel." (Strathcarron)
