TIENNE GARDE. 123 



We kept the right bank of the Gauges 

 up to Bengallee, shooting gooral on our way 

 there with various success, and crossed the 

 Bengallee hill to Sookee, killing three or four 

 tahii' and some gooral. Shot two tahii- at 

 Sookee, and went on by Jallah to Derallee, 

 shooting at Tienne Garde on our way up, 

 where we were in great hopes of fallmg in 

 with some snow-bears ; but found only theu' 

 tracks, and got nothing but a burrell or two. 

 At Sookee a fine old she bear was seen ; but 

 before we could get near her, she had 

 walked herself off. 



From Derallee, Wilson and Clapcott went 

 one day to a pet place, where I had shot an 

 old bear and her year-old cub. I, taking 

 with me two Puharries, old Bahadoor Sing, 

 and Ossaroo, went about three miles back 

 towards Tienne Garde, and turned up the 

 hill to an open space, wliich proved to be 

 one of the main feeding-grounds of the Bruin 

 family. Ere long, we discovered a fine old 

 fellow earning his supper, digging away for 

 roots. I fired at him when end on to me.
