[1] Return of Indians from America and the Far East, National Archives of India, Abhilekh Patal. The retained transcription gives “20 Nov 1914” as the date of his return. It does not establish a sailing date from Sumatra or explain the place-name “Old Sumatra”; both are retained without reinterpretation.
