18 REMINISCENCES OF PIG-STICKING. 



" Resurrection of Outram," for a finer and pluckier pig 

 it has scarcely been my lot to see, though I was at the 

 death of close upon eight hundred of them. He was a 

 magnificient boar, and stood as tall as any pig can be 

 fully 40" (I do not believe of any boar being over that 

 size if properly measured), and though somewhat lanky, 

 had a huge neck with splendid tusks, and altogether the 

 beau ideal of a Bengal boar !! 



The spectacle of this pig getting away after having 

 been ridden over fully three to four miles of open coun- 

 try in as many hours is, I believe, unique. 



Of course, if Hills had been on a trusty mount a dif- 

 ferent tale would have been told, and a human life been 

 saved.
