SOME PRE-WAR TIGER SHOOTS 13 



next day at noon I stalked up to the top of the 

 gully, and, looking over, saw a fat old lady sleep- 

 ing placidly. I shot her and two more full-sized 

 bear which rushed out. 



We had a beat one day, and they came out in 

 coveys, of which we took due toll. 



Another day we had some fun retrieving 

 one from a cave. They are delightful creatures, 

 bears, and one never takes them very seriously, 

 though my friend B. was once terribly mauled 

 about the face by one.
