296 A EEINFOECEMENT. 



Hoping that Wilson would be successful 

 in his errand, we moved on toward Ossalla, 

 in Borasso, where he was to rejoin us. 

 Gooral being numerous about Kotenoor, we 

 had a morning's sport amongst them ; I 

 shot but indifferently, and missed some fair 

 chances, but Colls killed and brought in one. 

 From thence, we passed through a very- 

 beautiful country of hills and forests, with 

 ever varying scenery, without meeting with 

 much success in the shooting line, and on 

 the 3rd of May arrived at Gunga, upon the 

 Tonse river. 



Going on to Ossalla, we were overtaken 

 by Wilson next day, which, being Sunday, 

 was a halt, and in the evening, had the 

 satisfaction of welcoming the arrival of 

 Ossaroo, accompanied by a further reinforce- 

 ment, of good men and tried shikaries. Just 

 after pitching the camp at Ossalla, an old 

 bear was seen grazing in a corn field ; 

 anxious to introduce Colls to the Bruin race, 

 I gave him the pot shot, and he killed his 

 first bear.
