I had given first choice of position during the beat to his owner, and a tiger had passed unobserved along the bank beneath ; but as he rose the hill at 60 TIGERS AND HUNTING IN NEPAL right angles to the gun, I saw him and fired a long shot across the valley, my express bullet splashing on the bare ground close behind him. Some fragments of lead must have hit him, I think, as he turned with a bound and clawed at the dust raised by the bullet, then went back into the nullah again, passing in abo...ve the same gun, to whom I went across, and we came together on to the tiger's track. Then going up to the crest of the nullah down which he had turned, I chose a tree. The gun with me, though he had already had his chance, demurred at my choice, saying that it was the best place, so I consented to relinquish it, merely putting up my native to guard the pass with a spare rifle. We had scarcely reached our places higher up the nullah when my shikari's gun was heard, and almost immediately afterwards a beater was caught and shaken by the tiger, who had been hit or frightened by the shot.
