THE MANCHURIAN TIGER 
only succeeded in shooting him, but took an excellent photograph as he lay 
asleep not fifty yards from the camera! 
Other districts I have heard recommended are the country south and 
south-west of Vladivostok, as far as the Korean frontier, and some moun- 
tains 150 miles or so north-east of Harbin, in Manchuria; but I have no 
doubt inquiries from traders or hunters at Vladivostok, Harbin or Khabar- 
ovsk would discover many promising hunting-grounds other than those I 
have indicated. It should be borne in mind, however, that the native of the 
Far East, whether Korean or Manchu, is at least as prone as those of other 
countries to pin his faith to some place several marches away which he 
himself has never visited, rather than his own particular neighbourhood; 
and the traveller, who listens to these tales too readily, must not be 
surprised if he finds, on his arrival at the place recommended, that he has 
had a long and weary march for nothing at all.
