But he always 236 THE HIGHLAIs^DS OF CENTRAL INDIA, got tlie start of me when I came up, and thus carried me some four or five miles towards the base of the hills, before a lucky shot at a very long range caught him in the centre of the neck and finished the business. It is curious how often incidents like that one with the Bori sambar occur. A beast shot in the lunsrs will run on, particularly down hill, for several hundred yards before he drops, though then he will generally fall stone dead ;... and the collapse frequently occurs just when he receives another wound, though it may be a very slight one, or when anything occurs to interrupt his impetus. I remember when shooting in the Kohilkhund Terai, a hog deer ran the gauntlet of a whole line of elephants. I had fired at him first on the right with a little rifle carrying a very peculiar bullet, but we all thought we had to register a miss when he fell to the Joe Manton of old Col. S. On the extreme left of the line ; and it was not till we were examining the goodly heap of slain brought in by the pad elephants on our return to camp that I thought of looking for my shot, and found that the death wound was from my rifle after all, as we cut out the little bullet from the top of its shoulder, while the Colonel's round ball had only just grazed its quarter.
