THE SPORT OF RAJAHS 

 but the novelty of the sport appealed 

 to me very forcibly, and the picture 

 remains. I see now the sunny yellow 

 grass jungle, and the brown, strong- 

 shadowed coolies beating through it 

 with their discordant jangle of cries 

 and drums. Suddenly a ^^ sounder " 

 of smallish pig tumble out and file 

 away across the open. My first view 

 of wild pig, and a most disappointing 

 one ! Was this, then, the " mighty 

 boar " they talked of so much ? But 

 a moment later a form, that at first 

 looked like that of a donkey, caught 

 my eye as he stood surveying the 

 country from the edge of the jungle. 

 This was a boar. He was watching 

 one of our keenest beginners rest- 

 lessly hovering about in a way that 

 would have successfully headed back
