On the fourth and last day's journey to Pilibhit, Swamiji, after riding for some time, and seeing that Swami Virajananda was nervous when riding, said, "I will teach you how to ride!" After giving instruction to Virajananda he whipped his own horse to a gallop and shouted to Virajananda to do the same. But the latter's horse, seeing the others gallop, for they had also joined the race, did not wait to be goaded. For Virajananda it was a question of holding on or falling off. At all events, a good deal of his nervousness was thus overcome, and he joined in the general hilarity. (LSV 2.577)

An ugly incident occurred when Swamiji and Swami Sadananda entered a second-class compartment of their train. Occupying the compartment was an English colonel, who rudely objected to having "natives" travel with him. Seeing that many people had gathered round the carriage to pay their respects to the Swami, he did not venture to say anything to him, but hurried to the station-master and demanded to have the "natives" turned out. The station-master came and respectfully begged the Swami to leave that compartment and get into another. He had hardly finished speaking when the Swami roared out, "How dare you say such a thing to me! Are you not ashamed?" The station-master hastily withdrew, and the colonel, thinking that his order had been carried out, presently returned to the compartment, to find it still occupied by the Swami and his disciple. Then he dashed from one end of the platform to the other crying out, "Station-master! Station-master!" but the latter, finding himself caught, as it were, between devil and the deep blue sea, had gone elsewhere. The colonel was furious; but seeing that the train was about to leave, he decided to move into another compartment himself, along with his baggage. The Swami and his disciples had a laugh over the affair. (LSV 2.578)
