A TIGERS Bite.

have more than once heard OF q
man defending himself from the on
slaught of n lion or tiger by thrusting
his rifle barrels down its throat in the
last resort. Poor Major Sa1dbach of
the artillery came to his death in So
maitland few years ago in attempting
to thus hold off lioness, which never
theleSs managed to infiict on his hand
and arm bites which proved fatal. A
curious story of the same kind comes
from the Khandwa district Of northern
India.
Mr.. Bayley, also an artillery officer,
was charged by wounded tiger which
he was following up. He missed it
with his first barrel, and the second
failed to go off. The tiger sprang, and
Mr.. Bayley jumped to one side. thrust
ing out his rife to keep the brute off.
The tiger, it is stated. seized the bar
rels and drove his teeth through them
and. being unable to withdraw them,
was shot by Captain Harrison, Mr..
Bayley's companion.
In his death struggle the tiger drag
ged the rifle from the owners haSds,
and the jar caused by the stock strik-
ing the ground broke off two teeth
which were imbedded in the steel This
story is said to be absolutely true; but,
with the profoundest respect for the
strength of the tigers jaws and teeth.
