the amateur tiger-hunterS
around the Singapore bars had
a busy and happy time telling
just how the situation ought TO
be handled. Fortunately they
were far enough away so that
they didn't have to back up
their suggestions.
Amateur Hunters
There must have been some
amateurs right on the spot at
Toungoo, however, for one day
the Straits Times brought this
choice morSel from that town:

with the aid of an armored car.

fraught with danger, but there
is a cart track that will per-

an Indian cowherd, who was
almost completely devoured."
The day this appeared, sew
eral of the Singapore amateurs
seized upon the absurd idea Of
an armored car for tiger hunt
ing, and seriously proposed to
me that I lead such an eXpedi-
ton against the Killer of Kuali.
I thanked them for their sug-
gestion, but explained that I
was leaving the next day TO-
Sumatra, and would therefore
be unable to assist in their COM
mendable enterprise.
Obviously such a conveyance
would be far too clumsy for use
in the tangled brush and heavy
jungle where an elusive cat like
the Killer would seek refuge.
Besides, the Kuali tiger was op-

so idiotic an enterprise come

When I returned to Singapore
some weeks later there was
plenty of news about the man.
eaters. The Johore Mauler had
been hunted down after killing
his sixth victim. The Toungoo
Butcher had apparently been
driven away from Toungoo-at
least nothing had been heard
from him for several days.
A Record Breaker
But the Kuali Killer had de.
veloped a f1rocity that bade
fair to beat al records. He had
just accounted for his twelfth
victim. and the whole district
around the Kuali Plantations
was terrorized. The newspapers
were -itating for the organi-
zation of a super-expedition to
go after this mad jungle cat
and get him at any cost.
All sorts of wild rumorS
were flying around Singapore,
blended with garbled facts and
pop-eyed gossip. My room boy
at the hotel tried to sell me
the idea that it had been de-
creed by certain evil spirits
that the Killer of Kuali must
have 20 lives before his ap-
petite for human flesh would
be appeased. If I doubted his
word-and it must have been
obvious that I did--he would
introduce me to notable whs-
would soon convince me that I
was wrong. This was no less a
celebrity than one Of the local
Hindu fortune tellers. 1t was all
right for me to doubt an humble
"boy" but surely I would not
challenge the word Of one Of
Singapore's lea din mystics.
Faced by such compelling logic
