Here is the sluice with the race running under--
“That’s Nag or Nagaina,” he said to himself, “and he is crawling into the bath-room sluice.
At the bottom of the smooth plaster wall there was a brick pulled out to make a sluice for the bath water, and as Rikki-tikki stole in by the masonry curb where the bath is put, he heard Nag and Nagaina whispering together outside in the moonlight.
