They then bewail to ir-w »orae mishap. One of tii em remembered we had put some old sail cloth and a small keg of tar into the bottom *of the boat to patch up 'out tent in case ot bad wn+ber. Thov at once set out for the buau and with the means atv hand extern por.-od torches, which an «\veted their purpose Very well. After se % v** lu'KI u'K f >r a, co i udorable time with no result, they were about, giving it upas ufclett. until morning, wh< n they were startled by htjaVing stranT-e noises issuing from what apj cai'i'd u> them a thick patch of junyle i-iss . but w'^en they had penetrated ft >w s \>M - tis in \he direction oi the sounds, they found an. 'open space. Thinking this pjouliav, they advanced very carefully, and tound they Hvete on the borders of a small morass. Tney >could still hear the shouts, though growing thicker and JfeoMer every numit©. Jsy catch n>ir hold of each other's hands, 'and utilifiing the hard clumps with which 'the place was plenfiiu'ly besprinkled, they managed to »e;iob me, and draw me out just as I was sinking into a boggy grave. Not above six y u\ls fi-om where they found 7rie, they found the immense 'body of a mant>nf<sr (a tiger "h^o ha? once tasted human 'fle^h cat es for t>o other, and goes by this name : he is the\nost vicious of his species). "H« was almost eiitMol 3' buried in bog, but - •his head was quite uncovered, and lay motionless on the treacherous surface. They found two bullets had entered the -skull between the fives. It appeared the -tiger had ■sniffed me from -a distance, and had come ru <hi .ig f i,r\\ a rd to the spot where I was held -a prisoner. In his eagerness hi.usualprudencehadfor^aiten him, and he had *leapt. right into the slime and mud, and was J held as olo«e a Dri^oner as myself. My first "shot must have killed him, but his head 'lying at the top in tho manner it did, had his eyes plainly visible after death. The other eyes 1 had .^tien were the torches *of my friends which my fren7ied fane3 r into hundreds. The remainder Vas the commencement of my fever.
