H. R. U, THE PRINCE 01 WALES' SHOOTING IN INDIA. 1093 
an inspection at General Obaidullah Khan’s house of the record Sambhar 
head (oOJ") shot by the General’s father delayed the start and His Royal 
Highness reached the cam only as darlmess fell. No bustling Police car (an un- 
necessary precaution there) announced H. R. H.’s approach and the Prince 
had come and passed the arch unrecognised before it was even suspected 
he had passed. However on another occasion, Avhen returning from a shoot, 
the Gond.s had their opportimity of performmg. 
While the writer was at the sliinning camp just before the Prince’s arrival news 
of a “ kill” some four miles away was brought in. As in Mysore, news generally 
came by an elaborate system of Heliographs on the surrounding hills. In the early 
morning from one’s tent the lights could be always seen flashing in the morning 
sun. 
To turn now to actual events. A glance at the map will show the plaees to 
which His Royal Highness went, these being marked “ P,” while blocks to which 
members of the party went are marked “ O ”. I have already noted that some 
shooting was done direct from Bhopal by members of the staff, who did not come 
out to Kachnaria but joined the camp for the day.
