A DARK EPISODE. 
Even the most careful man is not likely to go 
through a long career of sport without mishaps 
or accidents of some sort—in fact, it is that ele¬ 
ment of risk, of the unexpected happening, that 
adds so much fo the excitement of sporting pur¬ 
suits, regrettable though the misfortune may be 
when it occurs, whether it be missing “the best 
run of the season,” losing the “biggest fish I 
ever had on,” or, to go further afield, some even 
worse piece of luck when big-game shooting in 
the Land of India. Frequently the ludicrous 
element comes in, fortunate if such alone is the 
case. 
The following story—-one which I kept dark for 
many a day—I will preface by saying, might have 
happened to anybody, for I was no “griffin” at 
the time, but had done years of shooting in many 
countries. It happened in the Himalayas, where 
1 was bear shooting. Here is the story: In the 
morning I had shot a large black bear, so stayed 
in camp during the afternoon cleaning and 
stretching its skin, then dined and turned in 
early, as I had a long, hard day before me on a 
distant range of hills. In spite of dinner and 
then bed at once, I was sleeping like a top, when 
I was suddenly awakened by somebody touching 
me, and in the dim light saw two figures crouch¬ 
ing by my bedside. “Hullo! What’s the matter; 
what is it Voudram?” “Sahib! Sahib” excitedly 
whispered my two shikaris, “three bears close by 
in the Indian corn; quick, come quick!” It 
seemed that the villager whose night it was 
to sit up in the machan (a little hut raised on 
poles) watching the crops, had run in to tell us 
he had seen three bears come out of a ravine 
into the field, and that they were eating the corn. 
I struck a match and looked at my watch—it 
was just one o’clock—put on a coat and pair of 
shoes, took the rifle out of its case, and started. 
Though a cloudy night, the moon every now and 
then shone out fairly brightly, so five minutes’ 
walk took us to some terraced fields on the out¬ 
skirts of the village. Creeping down from terrace 
to terrace, I got close to the field in which the 
bears were said to be, the villager pointing to the 
place; and, sure enough, close below us some¬ 
thing was crashing about devouring the corn. I 
could now see that this was going on in three 
separate places, and could plainly hear the 
scrunching sound of the animals eating; but the 
crops were so high, quite eight or ten feet, that, 
though above, it was very difficult to see any¬ 
thing. “There, look, look!” exclaimed Voudram, 
and I indistinctly made out some dark animal 
move; then the corn stalks waved as another 
approached it, but still I could not see sufficiently 
to risk a shot. A few minutes later, and the moon 
came out from behind a cloud, and I saw a black 
hide, raised my rifle, and fired. A crash, two or 
three struggles, a few moans, and all was still; then 
in the dim light I saw something dark move close to 
the fallen animal—bang, the shot echoing again 
and again among the mountain tops, The third 
bear was now, as I could see by the line of 
waving corn stalks, making for a deep ravine 
bordering the field, and I just caught sight of it 
as it went over the edge, so fired, but with what 
result it was impossible to say. I clambered 
down, and, rifle in hand, cautiously approached
