An Instance of Wonderful Nerve.
India Times.
The beaters had been at work half an
hour when we heard cry announcing
that the maneater was making his way
toward the plain, hustled along some
what by the volleys of stones, but sharp
ening his claws ana growing defiance.
In taking up our positions it so hap
pened that Lieut. Harrington was on my
right, in line with the mouth of the gully
and not more than twenty feet from my
elbow. He had double-barreled gun
of heavy caliber, while L had a repeater.
In three OF four minutes after the cry of
warning the tiger appeared in the
mouth of the gully, head on to Far
rington, and looking him straight in
the face.
Hold on! He's my meat!' shouted
the officer, as he brought his gun up,
and it became point Of honor with the
rest of us to hold our fire. He took
cool and careful aim, but the bullet
simply touched the skin between the
tigers ears. He dropped like stone,
but was up in an instant, and with a
roar to shake any mans nerves, he
sprang forward at the lieutenant. In
the tenth of second L turned my eyes
from the beast to the officer, and what
was my horror to see serpent twining
itself about his leg and rearing its head
to level with his shoulder. forgot
all about the oncoming tiger, and for
the first time in my life my blood
seemed turned to ice. harrington stood
with his left foot ahead and his right
braced, and just as the tiger touched
him in its rush coolly pulled the trigger,
and the great Brute rolled over dead,
and at the same instant the snake was
killed by close shot from behind.
We ran after him and shook his hand,
and shoWered unstinted praise on him
for his nerve, but he would not be a
hero. 1t was the presence of the ser
pent, which was of highly poisonous
species, which had disturbed his first
aim. He felt it under his foot, and real
lied that its bite meant death, but a
maddened tiger was before him, and he
did not give the snake second thought.
