A PROTRACTED CHASE in 



home, which we did not reach till about mid- 

 night, as we were obliged to travel down 

 the nullah until it struck the main one, up 

 which we had to go to reach home, the 

 cross-country route being impossible by the 

 available light. 



A skinned bear is very like a man, and 

 his carcase is exactly like that of a human 

 being who has had his head, hands and feet 

 struck off; the impression it produced was 

 unpleasant, and I was glad to leave it.
