SynopsisI was tiger hunting in India with my friend Merrick when an urgent call came from the local police about a robbery. A wealthy Hindu merchant had been violently attacked and robbed, then left for dead. The police took me to the man who uttered a single sentence in English before he collapsed. "He was wearing little clothing except khaki", was all I could make out. My friend Merritt called for a search for someone in uniform. I countermanded his order and told them to look for a man in a loincloth. I'll explain why. In the case of the language barrier, the merchant uttered, wearing little clothing except khakis. The word khaki in Hindustani means dust. So the true expression was, "little clothing except dust". The killer was a beggar in a loincloth.
