He went for taking the shower and removed his diamond ring and Rolex and kept them on the table. When he returned after taking the bath, he found that the ring and watch were stolen.

The British Engineer (with a high beam torch in hand): I was working on a generator engine.

The Indian Radio officer: I was trying to make a contact with the company to inform them about our position.
