1 1 4 HOW I KILLED THE TIGER. 



NAVY A\'D ARMY ILLUSTRATED. " How I Killed the 

 Tiger ' is the title of a book written by Lieutenant-Colonel Frank 

 Sheffield, commanding the ist Cadet Battalion Royal Fusiliers. 

 The first part of the volume is an account of a thrilling adventure 

 experienced by the author in India, and the book throughout is 

 enriched by equally thrilling illustrations. Part II., termed an 

 appendix, really comprises about three-quarters of the volume, and 

 contains some very accurate and readable general information 

 about India. Lieutenant-Colonel Sheffield announces that the 

 profits derived from the sale of the book will be devoted exclusively 

 to a fund which has been opened in order to obtain the amount 

 necessary to provide suitable headquarters for the battalion he 

 commands. In consideration of the good purpose for which it is 

 published, therefore, it is hoped that ' How I Killed the Tiger ' may 

 have an extensive sale." 



GRAPHIC." 'How I Killed the Tiger ' In this little volume 

 the author gives an account of a terrible encounter he had with a 

 Royal Bengal Tiger, at Palaspai, Midnapore. He was returning 

 from shooting when a native, seeing him with a gun, asked him if 

 he would shoot a tiger. The writer was only armed with an old 

 fowling-piece, ' a capital weapon for shooting birds, but, of course, 

 of little use against such a formidable animal as a tiger.' But 

 having two explosive bullets in his pocket, and concluding that the 

 animal would turn out to be a small leopard, he consented to go. 

 He was pointed out the spot where the animal was hiding, and to 

 the Colonel's surprise, he saw an immense tiger. What followed 

 was of a most harrowing description, which it would be unfair to 

 the author to tell here. Suffice it to say that, although the author 

 managed to kill the royal beast in the end, he was so severely 

 mauled, that he was laid up for many weeks, and then had to come 

 home to England. The book contains an extensive appendix, con- 

 taining much useful general information about India." 



THE REGIMENT." ' How I Killed the Tiger " by Lieutenant- 

 Colonel Frank Sheffield, is a work which will be found of great 

 interest to lovers of sport. It is written in an easy and attractive 

 style, and contains many quaint side-lights of life in our Indian 

 Empire .... A contributory reason of much importance for 

 the present publication of ' How I Killed a Tiger ' is the Colonel's 

 desire that the profits derived from its sale may augment the fund 

 now being raised for the erection and furnishing of suitable build- 

 ings for the headquarters of the ist Cadet Battalion Royal Fusiliers, 

 of which Colonel Sheffield is Commanding Officer."
