THE TIGEK. 



Grand Tiger Hunt of a Native Indian Prince. 



but could climb no higher, partly on account of its wounds, and partly through the exertions of a native, 

 who kept it back with a spear. The Tiger hung in this way for the greater part of a mile, when another 

 hunter succeeded in overtaking the terrified elephant, and with a single ball freed the poor animal from its 

 tormentor. 



Tigers are usually taken by the natives in pitfalls, at the bottom of which is planted a bamboo stake, 

 the top of which is sharpened into a point. The animal falls on the point and is impaled. 



The general notion that Tigers cannot be tamed is erroneous. They can be tamed as easily as the Lion; 

 but great caution must be used with all wild animals, as in a moment of irritation their savage nature 

 breaks out, and the consequences have more than once proved fatal. The melancholy death of the " Lion 

 Queen," in Woinbwell's Menagerie, is a recent example of this propensity.
