HUNTING IN THE 
HIMALAYAS 
( Continued from page 498) 
them a good ram and two smaller fales. 
They were above us, and had been alarmed 
by a covey of snow pheasants (huhwal), 
which we had tried to dodge, but the 
birds rose with loud, screeching whistles 
and took a long flight across the valley. 
We watched the burrel going up a ra- 
vine, and presently they disappeared over 
a ridge far above. We continued on up 
the hill-side and looked over the ridge. 
There were the whole sixteen about 400 
yards away, below us and across a wide 
nullah. As there was no way, apparent- 
ly, by which we could stalk them in their 
present oosition we sat and watched 
them. 
It was bitterly cold ; an icy wind blew 
from the great snowfields to the south, 
and every now and then fine, powdery 
snow came with it. We descended the J 
hill, built a fire and ate our midday meal 
The fire and some cocoa warmed us up, j 
and about three o’clock we went back to 
watch the burrel, which had not shifted 
their position. 
Soon, however, they began to move ' 
down the slope, and when they reached 
a plateau free from snow the local shi- 
kari and I started to stalk them. The 
other man stayed to watch. We had to I 
cross some open ground in view of the j 
herd, but it was not far, and undetected 
we reached the foot of a steep slope 
leading upwards to a large rock, which | 
we reckoned was not much more than a 
hundred yards from our quarry. 
At last we saw the rock above us and 
T climbed onto it, the shikari passing up 
the rifle. The big ram was standing 
broadside on. within 150 yards. I fired ! 
and missed him clean. 
The herd split up and rushed wildly 
about, then stood again. I kept my eyes 
on the old fellow and fired five more 
shots at him as fast as I could load. 
None of them touched him. 
As luck would have it the ram stood 
aeain at about 200 yards, and my seventh 
shot brought him' crashing down from 
the rocky precipice the animals were as- 
cending. He fell within seventy paces j 
of ns, and we soon stood over him. 
His horns measured 23 inches round 
the curve. After missing so many shots ! 
I was fortunate in securing him. 
We made our way back to camp in a 
snowstorm. My friend was delighted at 
my success. He had been out with his 
gun, and little rabbit-rifle, a .220 bore, 
and had bagged a brace of snow pheas- I 
ants and two brace of monal. 
Snow fell all night, and the next day 
we had great difficulty in getting down 
the narrow path to the river’s bank, 
where we camped. The pass being deep 
in snow we returned to Telwarie by 
another route. Blue-rock and snow 
piseons provided us with gun-practice, [! 
and after some days tramping the nar- 
row roads, we camned in a well-known 
forest where middle-range game was 
fairly plentiful. 
Early one morning, I had the good 
fortune to bag a fine old male bear, as 
he sat among the branches of an oak, 
eating heartily. The shikari stalked me j 
up to within twenty yards, and a shot in
