The panorama passed before their eyes like a flash , save when the steam concealed it fitfully from the view ; the travellers could scarcely discern the fort of chupenie , twenty miles south - westward from benares , the ancient stronghold of the rajahs of behar ; or ghazipur and its famous rose - water factories ; or the tomb of lord cornwallis , rising on the left bank of the ganges ; the fortified town of buxar , or patna , a large manufacturing and trading place , where is held the principal opium market of india ; or monghir , a more than european town , for it is as english as manchester or birmingham , with its iron foundries , edge - tool factories , and high chimneys puffing clouds of black smoke heavenward 这一切景物，象闪电般一掠而过，有时被一阵浓浓的白烟，遮盖得模糊不清。沿途，旅客们只能隐约地看见：距贝拿勒斯城东南二十英里的比哈尔历代土王城寨舒纳尔堡，加兹铺和这个城区一些制造玫瑰香水的大工厂以及印度主要的鸦片市场巴特那，还有那个比较欧化和英国化的城市蒙吉尔，它很象英国的曼彻斯特或伯明翰，以冶铁制造铁器和刀剑驰名。那些高大的烟囱喷吐着乌黑的浓烟，把整个卜拉马活佛的天空搞得乌烟瘴气。
