14 BEARS. 



Up to this time we had had some difficulty in 

 obtaining a sufficient number of beaters from the 

 neighbouring villages, although we took it in turns to 

 see every man paid daily on production of a wad, with 

 which they were individually served out in the morning, 

 but the destruction of these bears so increased our popu- 

 larity that the camp was daily invaded by far more 

 men than we required during the remainder of our time 

 at Bokur.
