flea bitten gray, and certain 1t is that
today there are many Arabs Of that

A traveller writes of a port in north
western India: THE great sight Of
Karachi is the sacred crocodile pre-
serve at Magyar Pr, some seven Riles
or. There arc kSt springs here which
feed shallow tank containing nearly
a hundred crocodiles. The story, usu-
ally thought to be fictitious, of the Eng
lishman who for q bet crossed the tank
by jumping successfully from the
backs Of these crOcodiles is based on
fact. The hero of this foolhardy feat
was certain Lieutenant Beresford,
friend Of Sir X. +. Burton. When Bur
ton and his companion were visiting
the crOcodiles' tank they noticed that
these reptiles and certain islets Of reeds
happened to make an almost continu-
Gus bridge across the tank. This
prompted the daring subaltern to haz-
ard the feat Of crossing by hopping
from one crocodile to another. To the
amazement of the spectators he sue
ceeded in this apparently mad attempt.
Sir Richard Burton had already sue
cessfully performed an equally daring
feat. He managed to muZzle a crocO-
ollie by means Of lasso and then
jumped on the reptiles back and en-
toyed a somewhat zigzag ride"
