IN LIE JtNtLE.
An Enelislwoman travelling with her
husband In India passed an entire
night In the top OF n tall tree. waiting
for her husband to get shot at pan
ther. She describes the experience In
the Pail Mall Gazette:
Toward / o'clock we were certainly
getting drowsy. when we were both
startled out OF our sleep by hearing the
most fearful snarls and yel.s coming
from just below our tree. My husband
was peering out In an instant, but only
just In time TO see two large animals.
lighting hard. disappear into the
shadows Of the trees. In the difficult
light OF the moon we had net time to
see for certain what animals they
| were. but Il looked and sounded ike n
panther driving on pig.
Whether what had seen was the
panther or not do not know. but n
dark shadow passed beneath us. and
there. right opposite us on the bank.
with his white chest cleaning in the
moonlight. sat large panther.
"My husband got his rifle into posi-
ton and fired. and the panther rolled
over with n growl. In a minute. with
another low growi. he rolled over again
into clump OF tall grasses just at the
bottom OF the bank. and remained quite
still. He was completed hidden from
us, and we could only watch the place
and wait. Hardly had we got settled
when cracking came on the dry
leaves under the tree. and hyena ap-
pearcd. He stopped n few yards from
the clump of grass in which the pan
thcr lay. and began baying. II It was
intended as n challenge 1t had the de-
sired result. FOR In n minute we heard
savage growl come from the long
grass. and quicker than my eye could
| follow in the uncertain light the pan
ther had sprung out upon the hyena.
"And now how can / describe that
awful tussle? Snarls. howls and fierce
growls all horribly mixed ms those two
| fearful animals fought. The panther,
! we could see, was severely wounded:
| in fact, one shoulder appeared quite
useless. and soon 1t seemed probable
| that the hyena would get the best OF 1t.
when suddenly the two animals parted
few yards. and lay saspins and pant
ing on the ground.
| "My husband availed himself OF this
chance of n shot, and with the report
that rang out like cannon the hyena
bolted and the panther rolled over OIL
his side. Being now certain that nc
would never move again. my husband
| called to me to come down, but this
was no very easy matter. MS somehow
my knees felt most curiously feeble. l
| did manage, however. to reach the
ground quite safely. and was hurried
back to camp just as dawn was break
ing"
