THE NAGPUR HUNT 173 



J took the first ignoble spear, 



Soon died the coward boar ; 

 His weight was near 300 lbs., 



His height was 34. 



Six boars were slain ; another one 



Claimed our attention still ; 

 And Mrs. G, on Cigarette, 



Rode on his tail until 



He charged, and charging met the spear, 



A good one. In each hand 

 Grasping a lance, G got him down 



And quickly made an end. 



So seven boars by seven spears 



Were slain : can one do better ? 

 This day should be recorded in 



Our annals as " red letter." 



Divided up the inches of 



Those seven pig when done 

 Gave 33 to each ; their weight 



Panned out 261. 



All honour to our Captain bold, 



All honour to his crew. 

 For showing us such ripping sport, 



Jowahir Singh, Paikoo ; 



Abdullah with his faithful oont. 



The Buddoo, don't forget. 

 And now to dodge the eggs and cats 



I'll not remain, you bet. 



F. W. C. J.
