Forest and Stream 
9 East 40th St. Book Dept. N. Y. City 
where sambur, kakur, bear and pig are 
to be found, besides game-birds, and 
among some precipitous ravines and 
wooded crags to the North of the hill 
are a few tahr, goral, and surrow. It 
was glorious in camp. The air clear and 
frosty. Never had I felt so fit. I did 
not know what an appetite was until I 
had been a week in the Himalayas. Our 
dinner that night was made of savoury 
meat from the kakur I had shot a few 
days before, with a roast koklass to finish 
up with. The cooking was excellent. 
The next morning I missed a fine old 
tahr on a precipitous slope, but in the 
evening I did better and bagged a goral, 
with horns over seven inches long. The 
shikari was a splendid fellow at helping 
one over bad ground. I wore “shavel,” 
the rope sandals of the country, which 
gives one confidence on rocky ground, 
and enables one to walk quietly in the 
forest. 
When I returned to camp, I found my 
host smoking by the fire. He had been 
for a short stroll in the forest to the 
eastward, and had bagged a brace of 
monal pheasants. We stayed three days 
at this camp, but only one more shot did 
I obtain, when I missed another tahr, or 
perhaps the same one I had fired at be- 
fore. 
Three stages more and we arrived at 
a lovely camp below some crags where 
tahr were reported to be plentiful. We 
had passed through some grand scenery, 
and Blackmore had killed a goral, while 
I had accounted for a few pheasants. 
While seated by the fire our first eve- 
ning at Kapan my friend turned his 
binoculars on the crags above. He soon 
spotted a herd of tahr, and after a bit 
I saw them too. There was an old, 
patriarchal male, his grey mane almost 
sweeping the ground ; a younger male, 
and eight or nine terhuy (females) and 
young ones. It was too late for a stalk 
that evening, but I was desperately keen 
on bagging the old fellow, and determin- 
ed to be after him early next day. 
As soon as it was light enough the fol- 
lowing morning I directed my gaze up- 
wards, but could not view the herd of 
tahr. My friend and T were seated, hav- 
ing our chota hazri by a blazing fire. 
At another fire were the shikaris, and 
presently one of them cried out : “There 
is the big tahr.” 
Blackmore saw him in a moment, and 
after a few minutes I spied the beast. 
My friend and a local shikari planned a 
stalk for me, and gave directions to Ram 
Sing how to circumvent the old grey- 
maned goat. We started off. the local 
man leading, I following, and Sam Sing, 
carrying the .360 rifle, close behind me. 
It took us nearly three hours to climb 
a long, rocky nullah, and some time more 
before we crawled to the crest of a spur 
overlooking the steep where the tahr 
were. Cautiously we craned our necks 
and gazed, but no animal was in sight. 
We waited and watched for another 
half-hour, when the local man said : 
“There is a terhuy. Sahib,' and T saw 
a female spring on to a rock about a 
hundred yards away. She gazed care- 
fully round, and then jumped down and
