With one united scream, the natives shot away. They scattered;they disappeared utterly and at once. Where they went I know not. Wenever saw them again. We did not even think of them. Our eyes were setfast upon the black and yellow stripes and the great head. Withoutvolition I grasped my rifle. Irene put her hand upon her weapon, but Iwhispered to her not to move. "The tiger came slowly out of the jungle so that we could see himclearly; then he walked toward us. I clutched my rifle still moretig...htly.
