appear that the elephant was in a narrow and shallow nullah with steep 

 banks. The tiger jumped from the bank, and was shaken off more than once, 

 but returned to the charge again and again. The elephant, however, got off 

 with its life for the time being, and was taken into the nearest village with 

 dreadful wounds along nearly the whole length of its back, the points where 

 the tiger had apparently concentrated his attacks being the backbone about 

 a foot in front of the root of the tail. 



The tiger, I am sorry to say, is still at large ; the Europeans in the district are 

 all officials, and are too hard- worked to spare time for a tiger hunt ; whilst 

 a party of Burman shikarries who have gone out, 'urged on by the offer of a 

 reward, have as yet had no luck.
