Bagrah. in the province of Bengal, that
Sir Edward Potter, an English tourist
doing India, met tragic fate. A party
of six had arrived at the bungalow an
hour before dark. When supper had
been prepared and eaten, the gentle
men smoked and chatted for a couple
of hours and then lay down on the
veranda to sleep-that is, five of them
did, while Sir Edward had bed made
UP for him in the large room. The
nearest jungle was a mile away and
as the grounds had been beaten over
for serpents no one felt any fears as
he made ready for sleep. 1t was n
starlight night, with everything quiet,
and all the party fell into sound sleep
They were awakened at midnight or
a little later by shrek for help, and
as they got to their feet they beheld
an enormous tiger trotting off with Sir
Edward in his grip.

shoulder The shouts of the others
did not rattle the beast in the least.
With a twist of his head he threw the
man over on his back and went off at
a leisurely pace, and he was neither
fired on nor pursued. No one dared
shoot for fear of killing the man, and
to have pursued the tiger into the
jungle would have been foolishness.

finally said:

There are no inns along the high
ways of India, as the average reader
has probably been told before, but the
traveller seeking rest and refreshment
turns into ono of the free bungalows
provided by the government. He finds
cooking utensils. dishes and bunk,
and there is generally a native care
taker. The rule of the road is that no
traveller stops longer than over night
except in case of sickness or accident.
Few of the bungalows have doors or
windows, and unless in the height OF
the rainy season no blankets are hung
up at the openings.
