U. R. H. THE PRINCE OF WALES' SHOOTS. 
695 
second day we went out after Saing, but could not find the herd. The 
jungle was very dry and bad for shooting generally. On the third day 
news of the fresh tracks having been brought in the day before — we 
followed the tracks of a solitary bison till about 3 p. m. when we came 
on the animal in dense young flowered bamboo jungle. Capt. Ogilvy got 
a shot, but where he hit we could never decide — anyhow it was not in a 
vital spot. The next day we followed up the animal again and although 
we were close behind it, it knew it w’as being followed and kept ahead of 
us. This day we left camp at 5 a.m. and did not get into Singu till 11 p.m. 
and must have done all told the best part of 30 miles.” 
The party covered more than 65 miles in three days ; mostly climbing, too, 
through very fine jungle. The hills there w'cnt up to 3,900 feet.
