IN THE INDIAN JUNGLE. 



since I was wounded by the witch-panther I told 

 you about. But that was before I became a 

 bagh-maree. When we go to a new village we 

 generally make poo j ah (worship), sacrificing a white 

 cock. If we don't make sacrifice we lose our 

 tigers/ 7 



This briefly is the story of Beema the bagh- 

 maree, elicited from him by a series of questions. 

 The trap used by these native bagh-marees is 

 most ingenious and seldom fails ; and the dange] 

 from them is nil. The weird story of the witch- 

 panther of my friend the bagh-maree must 

 reserved for another occasion.
