TSE SOTAZ TIGES OF BENGAL. 73 



by the knee, whicli was perforated by the fangs, and 

 the hones much crushed. The tiger shook him 

 violently several times. Mr. K.'s brother came to 

 his aid, and wounded the tiger again, which then 

 made off, leaving his victim helpless and bleeding 

 on the ground. The case terminated fatally, after 

 protracted suffering ; this unfortunate gentleman, 

 who would not submit to amputation, succumbed to 

 the exhaustion produced by his wounds. 



Some years ago, in the Madras Presidency, Cap- 

 tain H. went out after a tiger on foot. He was 

 accompanied by beaters and a spaniel. The dog, 

 when questing in the jungle, flushed a tiger, which 

 endeavoured to escape. Captain H. got some shots, 

 and wounded it more than once. It charged, and 

 seized him by the loins on one side, gave him a 

 fierce shake or two, dropped him, and then seizing 

 him on the other side repeated the shaking and again 

 dropping, left him and disappeared. His beaters 

 had escaped up trees or elsewhere meanwhile, but 

 when the tiger departed they came to his aid, and 

 carried him into the station. He suffered no pain, 

 and described how the tiger had seized and worried 

 him. He sank from the shock and exhaustion, 

 within a few hours. 



Were the records of the Medical Board searched, 

 no. doubt several additions might be made to the 

 above cases.
