I soon heard the coughing roar of a tiger, which had been disturbed by the Colonel and his gun-bearer on their way to their post, but nothing appeared for some minutes, when the beat commenced with the usual preliminary burst of tom-toms, horns, shouting, rockets, and blank cartridge — a delicious, if discordant, overture, which always sends a thrill of pleasure through a sportsman. The tiger roared in response, and immediately afterwards, appearing on the edge of the jungle about forty yards t...o my left, galloped over a slope of sheet rock in front, and crossing the nullah, halted broadside towards me under a tree forty yards ofE on the opposite bank. I raised my rifle to aim, and the slight movement catching her eye, she turned her head to stare at me. A second later the trigger was pressed ; up she went on her hind legs, and then charged me straight as an arrow, roaring as she came, but fell stone dead into the nullah, vsdthin twenty yards of my post, the Express bullet having taken her clean through the heart.
