There were great grunts of approbation from the coolies at witnessing our first success, and they seemed to step out more lightly when they saw that one of the party could kill. We now descended a steep hill, but the carriers took off their loads, and sat down to watch us beat up t...he valley with as keen an interest as English beaters would have displayed. The first thing that showed itself was a splendid cheetah ; he got up in front of Smith, who had two bangs at him, but he went off apparently untouched.

We now got plenty of shots, and our stock of game increased satis- factorily, but we ought to have bagged more than we did : whether it was nervousness or the effects of the fever I cannot say, but my companion missed some very easy shots ; I fancy it was from firing too soon.
