in r filly to lav attempted to llnd the tl?er that night, and the poor native
was undoubte lly allied) dead
Enrlv m xt morning after a hasty meal, we went ourelvei to the scene of
the tragedy of the night before. Here It was decided that we would separate
end beat up the entlie counti) a each one, with Improved arms ind ample sup
ply of ammunition and tho fact that we were all expert shots mnsldered him
self able to cope with an) one animal In daylight So after arranging a od
of signals. Ihoiild the beast bo suited, we selwrattd Vovv as I was the lucky,
of unlucfcx one to find the tiger 1 sfmll merely Heal with tho account of mv
movement. I had selected for in) seanh MR old dried .up water eour, p'W
because It afforded a bett . vantage ground, from vvhlth to wan the urnflnd
Itig loumry, and partly beenune from my knowledgi" of the habits of th" Benaal
tlgir I knew when resting they generally seek the fringe of the woods adjoin
ing watei toure und there He In wait for pre), ellhei man or beest that
make use of suih places to facilitate travel !o I walV.ed along on the alert foi
the slightest sound thnt might tell of the presence of animal life I had gone In
this manner a half-mile or more and had Just concluded I had belter try an
other taik when a I vvus pnslng a dump of bamboos, I hend a slight rustle
und befur 1 had time to raise m) ever-ready line a dark object shot through
the air and atiuck me with thi force of a catapult
When I recovered my s uses I round m)seir beneath the Iwdy of ai It
earned to me the largest tiger I had ever seen At m slight, nt movement he
emitted n growl that plain!) showed me I had better abandon un attempt to
release ins self Ho here I thought was the end of our tiger-hunt as far as 1
was conierned I was to go the way of the many former victims of this mon
ster and furnish another Illustration of the cunning and feme It) of the ter
ror While these thoughts were Hitting throiiRh m) mind the tiger having evl
ilentl) made tip his mind what to do with me grabbed mo In the side, and with
a rapid motion thtevv me over his shoulder with as much ense m though I had
been a baby, and with a hound up the side or the bunk, began to forte his wuv
through the reeds and bushes nt 11 rate of speed sulnclent to dis el nil thoughts
of any hope 1 might have of assistance readilng me from m comrades
He kept on for probabl) half u mile when upon coming to a small glade he
dropped me, and lay down near me, watching me ns a cat does a moue Find
ing mjselr released I at onte set my wlti nt work to stud) some plan of escape
1 hnd two levolvers and a hunting knife strapped to my waist but I dared not
risk the attempt to draw 11 revolvir for befou 1 could shoot with an) certalnt),
the tiger woul I be upon me and rend me limb rrom limb.
While debating what to do and knowing any minute might be my last, I
was struck by tha thought and to this da) It has puzzled me to know wh) I
did not think of It sooner that In my side to it pocket I carried nier a pound of
inyenne pepper. I hn I ciirled this for eors to gunid agilnst Just such 1
predltrtinenl lis t Was then In and here when tho opportunlt) olTeied I had well
nigh forgotten IL Then, with u, loolness born of desperation I began slowly to
slide my hand toward ni) poi Ket After what seemed ages I rem he 1 the cov
eted powder It via the work of an Instant to grasp a handful Then, ns I
withdrew It, the tiger aroused by the movement, threw open his Jaws, nnd, with
(yes ablaze, start fl to giap mo In his mouth, but aa he did 'o I gave him a
handful of red pepper full In his e)cs and mouth then rolled quickly out of reuch
of his wild struggles Then as he, blinded and frenzied with pain, rolled around
li the grass I sprung to ni) feet, und keeping out of his reach, sent two well
directed bullets Into his brnln A few spasmodic struggles, then all was o.er.
I filed several shots In the nlr as a signal to my companions, und was shortly
afterwnxl Joined b) the entlro part), who listened with Interest to m) narra
tion of in) encounter We skinned the tlgir nnd returned to tho village, where,
til on thi fact of the death of the tiger becoming known. I wja made tho hem
