164 WILD SPORTS OF BURMA AND ASSAM 







May 20. Heavy rain ; but we went out in the afternoon 

 and shot a pig, a sambur, and a dala'el or hog deer. 



May 21. Heavy rains ; only Lloyd and I ventured out. 

 We had each shot a stag, and were going through a patch of 

 long grass, in which we saw the movement of some animal. 

 We thought it was a hog deer, but coming to a small but deep 

 nullah, over bounded a tigress, and Lloyd, taking a snap-shot, 

 broke her back, and I put her out of her pain. She had a deep 

 cut inside her thigh, inflicted on her evidently by the boar. 

 We padded her and sent her to camp, which was in sight. 

 She was offensive two hours after death. I got a fine stag 

 thamine and put up a gaur, but did not get a shot at it. 



May 22, 23, 24. Too rainy to do much, but we killed a 

 few deer. Lloyd and George went to Banlong. Hill and 

 Watson to Kyoukee, and I to Tuen, and thence to Tongho. 



In October, Lloyd, Duval, and I went south. The grass was 

 too high and the country under water ; we shot three buffaloes 

 and some deer, but this is not the season for shooting in 

 Lower Burma. 



These are a few of the records of our trips just sufficient 

 to give the reader an idea of what the sport is like.
