No. 2 Mahomed Aboo's Escape [underscored]

The building at the head
with the exception of the covered
in accommodation for the ma-
-chinery, and the superstructure
appended thereunto, is the same
as at Khutowli; the bays, how-
-ever are 13 feet in height from
the flooring to the soffit of the
arch. The sluice gates which are
of the same description as those
at Khutowli are worked by
windlasses resting in the plain
[bilt? built? bitt?] heads common to the canal
works in these provinces. They
are protected by a 2nd class choki
which is in close proximity to the work.

The site of Mahomed Aboo's
Escape is on the right bank of
the canal between the 69th and
70th mile of its course from the
Myapoor Regulator. It is the
most awkwardly situated of
the whole of the canal works,
being separated by a considera-
-ble distance from bridges of
cross

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
