THE " PATIALE " ON FIRE, 45 



speared went and lay in a small pool of water, and I 

 never saw before or since such a coward of a pig, he 

 seemed to be paralyzed with fear, and never attempted 

 either to fight or make a bolt of it for life, and died as 

 he had lived, squeaking to the last. Roberton thought it 

 a good opportunity to blood his maiden spear, but in his 

 excitement, instead of spearing the pig, he managed to 

 touch his horse's hind-quarters who kicked out most 

 viciously. This was a pretty good pig, as regards size, 

 as he measured a little under 34". 



We might have got another two or three boars, but 

 as most of us had ridden the same horse since the 

 morning, we thought it was time we should give them 

 rest. Barring the burning the of patiale, for which we 

 to pay some sixty or seventy rupees compensation, it 

 was a rather successful meet, only it was a pity we had 

 had not all of us spare horses, or another two or three 

 pigs would have been accounted for.
