Scott's favorite game r however, was the wild boar. Such was his ardour in this hazardous amusement, that even when on a tiger, or other hunting excursion, if a boar appear- ed in sight, however distant, he would instantly descend from his elephant, and, mounting his horse, go off in pursuit, Al- though none of the rest of the party once thought of follow- ing, or even imagined he could possibly come up with him ; yet he invariably killed his game, to the surprise of every one DAVID SCOTT, ESQ.... 61 qualities endeared him to the young military men around him, and induced them, on his ac- indeed, I never knew him fail, with the exception of one instance, which I shall presently relate.
So keen and undaunted was he in this chosen amusement, that he often went out alone in the hottest season of the year, (May and June, when I visited him, ) and occasionally met with desperate rencounters. He had always a horse or two laid up in his stable, or at grass, recovering from their wounds. Whoever is unacquainted with wild boar hunting in India (where this animal, I believe, attains the largest size known) may imagine its danger when they are told, that it is not at all uncommon for a horse to be mortally wounded, or disabled for life, in these encounters besides the haz- ards the rider runs, not only from so redoubtable a savage as a full grown wild boar, with eye of lightning, " whetting his tusks" and breathing rage, but, from the incessant obsta- cles usually presented to the hunter by a waste, uncultivated, country, and the treacherous nature of the ground in India, which is frequently full of covered holes, deep and broad cracks and fissures, which, momentarily, threaten the most desperate falls to the sportman.
