Excerpt from The Power of the Keys
At the foot of the Chabi Pass, among the mountains which separate the native state of Bala from the great British province of Granthistan, stands the St Martin"s Mission Hospital.
"You Padris have a good eye for strategic points." It was the British Resident in Bala who made the remark, when he was asked by a zealous mission secretary to use his influence with the Rajah for the grant of a site. "The Chabi Pass is one of the keys of India."
"One of the keys of Central Asia, where you won"t let us go. Keys keep people in, as well as out. But we can only send two women to occupy this post," added the missionary hastily; "so you needn"t be afraid of their making any unauthorised expeditions."
"I"ll take good care they don"t! was the grim reply; and when Eleanor Weston, L.R.C.P. & S., and Sister Janie took possession of the bare mud-brick building which was to be the scene of their future labours, it was with this condition plainly stated.
