them and began to examine them closely, turning
them cautiously from side to side AS soon as he be-
came aware that they were dead, he uttered fear
full howl of sorrow, that obliged to put our
hands to our ears. When | upbraided my huntsman
for the cruel action he had so rasy committed, per-
ceved by his blunt and abrupt answers, that he also
had lost all hope of from impending fate,
and that under these circumstances, the ties between
master and dissolved. For my own part,
without knowing why, could not help believing that
some unexpected assistance would rescue us from SO
horrible fate Alas little anticipated the sacri
fee my to cost.
The thunder had now ceased, and the storm had
sunk gentle gale the songs of birds were again
heard in the neghbouring forest, and the sunbeams
sparkled in the drops that hung from the leaves. We
saw through the aperture how all nature revving
after the wild war of elements which had recently
taken place but the contrasts only made our sltua
ton the more horrible. We were in grave from
which there no deverance, and monster, worse
than the tabled Cerberus, kept watch over us The
tiger laid himself down beside his whelps. He was
beautiful animal, of great size and strength, and his
limbs being stretched out at their full length, display
ed his immense power of muscle. A double row Of
great teeth stood far enough apart to show his large
red tongue from which the white foam fell in large
drops All at once horrid roar was heard at dis
lance, and the tiger Immediately and answered 1t
with mournful howl At the same instant our In
dams uttered shrek which announced that some
new danger threatened u.s. few moments confirm
ed fears for another tiger not quite large
as the former, rapidly towards the spot where
were.

knows no pity for those who deprive her of her

The howls which the tgress gave, when she had
examined the bodies of her cubs, surpassed every
thing of horrible that had yet heard and the IL
ger mingled his mournful cries with hers Sudden
by her roaring was lowered to hoarse growing, and
her anxiousy stretch out her head extend her
wide and smoking nostrils, and look if she were
determined to discover Immediately the murderers Of
her young. Her eyes quickly fell upon us, and she
made spring forward with the intention of penetra

been enabled by her immense strength to push away
the stone had we not with all united power, hclt
it against her. When she found that all her effort
were fruitless, she approached the tiger, who la!
stretched beside his cubs, and he and joined ii

us to selZe the only possibility OF our saving ourselves
by instant flight, for the tigers had only gone round
the height tn seek another inlet to the cave with which
ley were doubt acquainted In the greatest haste
the stone was pushed aside, and slept forth from
what considered living grave. Wharton was
the last who left it he unwilling TO lose his dou
bile barreed gun, and stopped to take it up; the rest
of us thought only of making escape. We now
heard once more the roaring of tigers, though at
distance; and following the example of our guides
we preciptately struck into side path. From the
numbers of roots and branches of trees with which
the storm had strewed way, and the spperiness
of the road, flight slow and difficult. Whar
tom though an active seaman, had heavy step, and
had great difficulty in keeping pace with us, and we
were often obliged to sacken own on his account
We had proceeded thus for about quarter of an
hour when we found that our way led along the edge
of a rocky cliff with innumerable assures. We had
Just entered upon it, when suddenly the Indians, who
were before us, uttered of their piercing sreks,
and we Immediately became that the tigers
were in pursuit of u.s. Urged by despair We rushed
towards Of the Breaks CULTS in our way, over
which was thrown bridge of reeds, that sprang up
and down every STEP and could be trod with safety
by the light foot of the Indians alone. Deep in the
hollow below rushed npetuous stream, and thou
sand pointed and jagged rocks threatened destruction
on every side. Lincoln, my huntsman, and myself,
passed over the chasm in safety but Wharton was
still in the middle of the wavering bridge and endea
voring to steady HIMSELF when both the tigers were
seen to issue from the adjoining forest and the mo-
nent they deserted us they bounded towards us with
dreadful roarings. Meanwhile, Wharton had nearly
gained the safe side of the gull, and were all
clambering up the rocky cliff, except Lincoln who re-
manned the rcedy bridge assist his friend to step
upon firm ground. Wharton, though the ferocious an
finals close upon him, never lost his courage on
presence of mind As he had gained the
edge of the cliff, he kneIt down and with his sword
divided the fastenings by which the bridge attach
ed to the rock. He expected that efectual barr
er would thus be put the further progress of
pursuers but he mistaken for he had scarcely
accomplished his task, when the tigers without mo-
ment's pause, rushed towards the chasm, and attempt
