two bullocks within half u mile of
camp. The hunt was brief, and the OFF,
Ger presently got two shots at the tiger,
but without killing him. The jungle
was heavy, and it was already getting
dusk when the servant touched the Off
Ger from behind and said, There he
is!'' The adventure is best described by
the man himself, as quoted by General
Wilkinson. "The tiger was lying with
in ten yards of me, unable to rise, as l
afterward found out, from his loins be-
ing broken. Seeing that he was no
dead, however, l was in the act of TAX
ing up my rifle when something struck
me on the back and damned me to the
front of the hoWdah. | had just time
to lay hold of the branch of a tree and
pull myself out of the howdah, other
wise my back would have been broken.
Then the frightened elephant ran away,
and left me suspended Immediately
over the tiger, which lay looking up at
me, growing and lashing his sides.
You may imagine my feelings. In vain
l tried to get into the tree, and at last
my fingers becoming cramped, I lost
my hold and fell on the tiger. 1t was
like dropping into the jaws of death.
The instant I touched the ground, the
tiger with a terrific roar seized my left
foot in his mouth, and with one bite
crushed the heel and ankle-bone to
powder. Then he gave me three other
bites, two on the calf of the leg and
one on the knee, every bite breaking
the bone to pieces. My agonies were
dreadful. In vain I called for help,
but after a struggle I got my right leg
free and gave the tiger a tremendous
kick or the head, which induced him
to let go. Instantly I got up and hob
bled to the foot of the tree, where I
fell exhausted, with the tiger still a
few PAGES off. The sepoy, who had
been with me in the howdah, had lodg-
ed safely in the tree, and witnessed the
whole scene Now he came down with

Travellers Tales.
\ Night on precipice.

Mr.. e. A. Fitzgerald, in his 'Climbs
in the new Zealand Alps gives the
following graphic account OF a night
spend the night. This vas a ledge some
impossible to spend the night where
We were, hanging on to narrow lodges
OF rock, covered with thin ice; we were
Obliged slowly TO retrace our steps for a
little, till we should reach a spot where,
1 thought, it might be possible to
spend the night. his was a ledge some
fourteen feet long and eighteen inches
broad, on which the three Of us could
just manage to sit. It seemed to us as
sheltered a place as any upon this
slope but should any great fall of
stones really come down upon us in the
might, | feared that we should have had
a small chance Of escape. No sooner
mad we seated ourselves than we heard
the ominous whizz of falling stones.
Ihls was but the commencement of a
cannonade that we found was to be
kept up at intervals throughout the
night. The rocks flew past us, so close
at times that WE could almost feel the
wind from them on our faces. We
never dared SO much as close an eye
all night, for fear of slipping into the
abyss below. The cold became intense,
the thermometer dropping to Is de-
grees, and as most of our garments
had been soaked in wading through the
melting snow during the day, our
things froze hard. Harper took off
his boots and placed his feet into his
knapsack or "swag," as the Colonials
call it, so that, had he fallen, he could
not possibly have recovered himself.
Zurbriggen also took off his boots and
sat upon them to keep them warm for
the morning, lest they should become
frozen tight and he would not be able

to get into them again. We did our
best to keep up our spirits through that
long night, singing songs, the most ap-
propriate of which seemed to us, at
the time, to be we won't go home till
morning There was no moon and the
night was intensely dark, though the
weather was clear, while the slight
breezes from the southwest seemed to
chill us to the very bone. After mid
night we gradually became more silent
and did not eve talk, while Harper
dozed for a moment or two and nearly
tumbled off. I had to catch hold Of
him and retain my grip till he could
regain his balance. 1t then occurred
to us that if we spread one of the pieces
of macintosh sheeting over our heads,
lighting some candles beneath it, we
should be warmer. One of the reasons
which led us to make this discovery
was that, when Zurbriggen hal lighted
one of the lamps, he wanted to have
the pleasure of seeing smoke from his
pipe, as otherwise he would not have
known whether it was drawing or not.
He had gradually let the lantern drop
down to his knees, and had pulled up
the macintosh covering over him, and
said that he felt warmer. We found
this plan of spreading a sheet Of mac
kintosh over us most successful, and
we kept on lighting plenty of candles,
so that we could war; our fingers at
them and still remain seated in our
cramped position. Luckily we still
had an ample supply Of candles, SO that
it was possible to continue in this way
till dawn began to appear. 1t seemed
to us as if we had been seated for
weeks on this ridge, and when it was
light enough for lis to move we were
SO stiff that it was with difficulty We
gained our feet"

Beaten at His Own Game.

The amiable young men at the gen.
ereal postofice in Rochdale have been
the victims of a great deal of annoy
ance lately in consequence of a curious
addition which has been made to the
office counter.
Along the front, for it's whole length,
a piece of wire netting has been placed,
just raised above the surface enough
to allow small parcels, etc., to be hand
ed under it. Owing to this the assist
ants at the counter have received a
good deal Of chaff from customers.
But the other day a local legal lumi-
nary was effectively silenced. After
having been served he asked the as
sistant at what time the animals be-
gan to feed.
The young man was equal to the oc-
casion, however, and, handling a few
nuts over the counter, he informed the
astonished solicitor that he could com.

Johnny off his balance. Before he
could recover his defense, one of his
assailants was driving the blade Of a
stone axe direct for his head.
I sent a bullet through the fellow,
and dreadful as 1t may seem to tell it,
it gave me a lot of pleasure to kill
him. The other bushman turned to es-
cape, and he ran to pass me to gain a
opening through the bush. I swung the
butt of my rifle and caught him on the
chin as he went by. He never moved
after I hit him. The marks of his
teeth are in the stock of my gun.
The natives would get out of the bush
a few feet in front of the muzzles of orr
rifles and so close that the powder
would burn deep holes in them where
the bullets struck.
For a few minutes I never expect-
ed to get back alive. The grass and
thick brush swarmed with the natives.
They are cannibals, and those Of orr
comrades they killed, as we'll as the
Baron, have no doubt been made the
subjects of a feast before this, We
could not carry their bodies back with
us and sare for our wounded, and we
were compelled to let them lay whore
they were killed. It is with the deepest
regret hat I pen these words.
