A squad of coolies were engaged for special work in their compound. An island was made for Baba. It was twenty feet long and fifteen feet wide and was surrounded by a dry pit or moat, six feet wide and seven feet deep. A wooden box was brought and put on the island for Baba to sleep in at night. Straw was placed inside to keep him warm. His ‘baby’, the twisted stump, along with his ‘gun’, the piece of bamboo were put for him to play with.
