Interesting account of the destruction of a Roy
AL TIGER, by one of the officers of the Cd

at Kara.
On the 18th of June, some of the officers of
the corps formed party to visit the celebrated
ruins of Mahmoodabad on approaching item,
they were alarmed by sound like the roar of a
Royal Tiger. They did not however immediate.
ly see the animal, and proceeded towards the
runs {; but on advancing little further, he sud.
denly burst upon their view, in all his terrofs g.
sprang at item with incredible ferocity. pre-
cipltate retreat was the natural consequence, g.
one of the gentlemen, who was but indifferently
mounted, perceiying that ne could not depend on
his horse, with the promptitude of vigorous 8.
decisive mind, directed his course To a tree,
which he Immediately assembled, with his fow-
ling piece i'll his hand. His victim thus singled
the tiger gave over the pursuit the others, and
bounded OH the horse, who stood paralyscd with
fear at the foot OF the tree At this crisis, the
gentleman in the tree took cool and steady aim
at the savage, and wounded him, though not
mortally. The tiger feeling his wound retrea-
ted to some distance, but almost Immediately
returned with increased fury. liz the mean time
the officer had loaded, and taking aim at him a.
gain, while venting his rage on the miserable
horse, wounded him mortally. On the first al.
tae OF the tiger, the retreat of the party was too
preciptatc and general to admit of individual at
tentions. Each person trusted to the speed Of
his horse, and our hero was Undcsignedly left
behind. But when, in railying in neighbour
ing village his comrades perceived that Inc was
missing. they instantly armed themselves, and
returned with large concourse of the natives e,
the spot. They came ia sight of the tree lust as
S-s tiger had received his msrtsl wound. lie
