An extraordinary shooting adventur,
is recorded by A. L. Butler of the State
museum, Selangor, Malaga. One day
in last July a Malay woodcutter went
out into the jungle to cut fuel, taking
with him an old single barreled, mug
ale loading gun loaded with the rather
unscientitic charge Of bullet and four
buckshot. Moving quietly through the
jungle, he suddenly came upon q tiger
feeding on the carcass Of sambhur,
and with touching confidence In his
weapon fred at distance of 30 paces
The tiger rolled over, and when the
Malay cautiously approached he found
not one dead tiger. but two, the second
having been hidden from the sports
man, though only few feet distant
from the animal he fred at.
Mr.. Butler, who made post mortem
examination Of the tigers after they
had been skinned, found that in each
case single buckshot had gone to the
heart. One had also an Insignificant
wound on the head from another pellet.
"For really appalling fuke." as Mr.
Butler says, this achievement Of the
Malay woodcutter will be hard to beat
It certainly is not performance any
sane white man will try to parallel.
much less to eclipse.
