AND THEN HE VANISHED INTO THIN AIR ...1


The Auto-Union Wanderer in which he left in the depth of the night, 17 January, 1941, 1:35 a.m. Sisir Bose, his nephew, drove him off from his Elgin Road residence. They drove through Lansdowne Road, then Lower Circular Road , Sealdah, Harrison Road, crossed the Howrah Bridge and now were way beyond the metropolis. Coffee, conversation about Eamon de Valera and his escape from Lincoln Prison in 1919 consumed the time as Sisir sped past the sleeping terrain of Bengal to reach Asansol at dawn.
