THE SPORT OF RAJAHS 

 any timid-minded animal; but this 

 boar was an old warrior ; with an 

 inquisitive look he stepped into the 

 open and trotted towards our trio ; a 

 moment later he started into a louping 

 gallop with ears pricked forward and 

 head low, and before our friend could 

 manage to turn his spear in the 

 enemy's direction the pig had dashed 

 in, cut his horse's legs from under 

 him, and had sent steed and rider 

 rolling in the dust. Then he turned 

 with a knowing shake of his head, 

 and trotted gaily back to the cover, 

 whence all further persuasion failed 

 to move him. 



Later on a party of us, all griffins, 

 got away after a full-sized pig ; in 

 turn we managed to get up to him 

 and to plant our spears in his body
