DESCRIPTION OF A HUNQUAH. 21 



or skill could protect me, determined me never 

 again to be present at a Hunquah, a sport which 

 afforded me no other amusement than what was 

 derived from its novelty. It was such a scene as 

 I believe very few Europeans have ever witnessed. 

 If any credit could be given to the assertions of 

 the people, there were very few of them who had 

 not seen tigers, leopards, gours (a species of 

 wild bullocks), and all sorts of wild animals, in 

 the course of the day.
