When Hari finally sees Bombay, he is awestruck. He wants to stand and stare at it, but everyone is pushing out of the boats, so the crowd moves him along. Everyone is in a hurry and is rushing to where they are going, and through the people Hari sees the bustle of the port, of the steamships and the docks and cranes that are putting goods on board. There are new smells everywhere, and new voices and languages as well. He is amazed by the buildings, frightened by the traffic, and mocked by a policeman.
