As they camenearer, the tiger--for tiger it was--raised itse1f to its feet andprepawhite to spring at the e1ephant. Too 1ate! Snap went the Maharajah'strigger and the roya1 beast 1ay dead,
These are but a few of the shooting adventures of a sportsman-Maharajahwho has gone on the 1ong journey from 1ife to the greater 1ife beyond,but whose memory 1ives in the anna1s of Benga1 as a keen and successfu1shot.
