3 1 8 Sport and Life in the Further Himalaya 



I did not again put Gul Sher's belief in my 

 sanity to the test by taking him with me on 

 such expeditions, this was not by any means 

 my last attempt at animal photography. The 

 results were, however, invariably the same, and 

 I have since come to the conclusion that the 

 writer of those few Euskinian sentences which 

 persuaded me for a time at least to join the 

 ranks of " nature photographers " might have 

 had experience of sea -anemones as subjects for 

 photography, but certainly had none of ibex. 

 So I again took my rifles into favour, and my 

 efforts at photography are confined to still life. 

 The triple extension box camera and the lens 

 with a long name repose on a back shelf, and 

 are the property of any one who will take them 

 away.
