Further I have sent word to the villages oft that road which it is told 

 that this saheb is about to proceed and have again warned all police and head- 

 men that whenever there is become any news or hope of tiger hunting they 

 must make great difficulties concerning all matters of supplies arxl the obtaining 

 of coolies for camp work and especially for making beats in the jungle but 

 such people are always fools and there is fear of the Mussalman who is showing 

 cleverness like unto that of an old dog-fox also of the other sepoy people who 

 on account of being foolish do not understand that it is better that our Dipti 

 Saheb should obtain good hunting also are they in no way connected with me 

 or with this zillah or there should easily be some sort of arrangements.

 for it is so known that they the village people have indeed well obeyed that 

 order but looking sad I explained much loss was mine and bereave- 

 ments so looking in my direction some time then the saheh struck kindly 

 the hand on my back and said that Jhoot Singh I have seen no more tigers 

 although there has been hunting of leopards and bears and some deer therefore 

 am I about to march now many kos to the westward near the village of 



K M where I know are some tigers and so I ate apprehension and 



became glad that I had been called in that time for in truth are there many 

 tigers in that place and moreover it is the best jungles in all the taluk and 

 there was intention of reserving it for the hunting of the Dipti Saheb.
