 How the Tiger Was Killed
 In telling of the tiger hunt Mrs Harrison said:-
 '"The Governor stalked the tiger and it was ten times as thrilling as shooting one from an elephant. He met him on the path. heard him snort and just as he was about to spring Mr. Harrison killed him. The tiger was like a big cat. Four men car ried the dead animal back on a bam- boo stretcher to where was seated. "It should be understood, because it is interesting, that we went out to 8 small place where there was mol much than few huts, and after five o'clock we were not allowed outside stockade. To attract the giters they first slew three slidangs, better known as Aurox or water buffalos. They charge you on sight and are huge creatures. The heads of the water buffalo were cut off, and MT. liar rison presented two of them to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington and one to the Natural History Mu- scum here. They are rare specimens and Englishmen consider them the biggest game there is.

The animals eyes were glaring, and any one who has stalked a tiger knows that it is best to shoot to kill on the first shot. There wa. | one shot and the tiger. whcih had been ready to spring on MT. Harrison rolled over dead. I felt very proud that he had killed his tiger. '
