not expecting to be detained so long, had
brought nothing with me. was, therefore,
agreeably surprised by the arrival on the spot
guided by the sound of the Express, OF my
faithful ''Khit" and good tiffin, sent to Inc
by thoughtful friend in camp. Moral, al
WAYS have thoughtful friend in camp.
But promised you story of tiger, not
of panther; yet, this was an episode of the
tiger story, and SO had to be told. l had
three more buffaloes tied up, and this time
saw to it myself There was no result next
morning. Indeed, hardly expected it, af-
ter having disturbed the jungle. But on the
second morning, arriving at the spot before
day had dawned, found the first "tie-up"I
visited gone. 1 tracked the marauder into
ravine, noticing, for the first time, what l
took to be a small cubs footmarks following
the mother as she dragged the kill away;
they were on the kill when approached, but
retired before / could see them. A machan
was soon made, and begun another silent,
motionless watch. Soon vultures came down
but was not going to be done after my ex-
perience Of few days before. They were
evidently very uneasy, and kept constantly
running away from the kill and ventur1ng
back with diffidence; then 1 saw leary crow
do very clever thing. Anyone who has
seen much forest tiger shooting must have
noticed how good a tell-tale of a tigers
whereabouts a crow is, and what totally
different cav from his ordinary converse
tional note he utters under such circum-
stances. On this occasion crow, perched
on a tree hard by, suddenly burst into tor
rent of these peculiar caws, and instantly
every vulture disappeared. The crow calm
ly flew down at once, and began on the car
cass. Now, that crow deliberately fright
ened away the vultures to secure titbit for
himself. Clever Corvus splendensl One OF
my men just then appeared running towards
me, and waving his cloth to me frantically.
/ descended in hot haste, to learn that the
men had gone on to look at where we had
tied up a rather larger calf than usual, and
had found him carried off, and carried, too,
through some very broken ground, over fal-
len timber, through a dense jungle OF creep
dred yards. The other men were making
machan over the kill for me, and it was said
