In deference to the rank of the personage put to flight, I refrain from mentioning any name of place or person present on this occasion. Suffice it, then, to say that a hunting party had been arranged by the commissioner of the division for his exalted guest and included amongst others, the district magistrate, and superintendent of police — the narrator of this story. On the day in question, the ''beat" had been especially organised for rhino, two of which were marked down the previous evening... in a dense jungle, at a little distance from the camp, which was pitched in 190 REMINISCENCES OF A STOWAWAY what looked like an oasis in the forest, but had been specially created for the purpose.
