We had proceeded a hundred yards, examining every foot of the ground, and going dead slow, when Mothi, just as I turned my head to look at him, started backwards, screaming as he did so. Then he whipped round and ran for dear life, beating the air with his hands as if warding off a swarm of bees and continuing to scream as he ran.

Q.13349·Miscellaneous·2013·EasyWhen Ibbotson returned from Pauri, I told him of the leopard’s habit of going down the road between Rudraprayag and Golabrai on an average once in every five days. I convinced him that the only hope I now had of shooting the man-eater was by sitting over the road ten nights; for, the leopard would be almost certain to use the road at least once during the period.

Q.13351·Miscellaneous·2013·EasyMany poor farmers had been compelled to take up indigo cultivation when the British settlers were given the right to purchase and cultivate land in India.

Q.13354·Miscellaneous·2013·EasyThe first day out we met our first rhino, two of them, and I had the fright of my life. The pair had got our scent before we spotted them, and being bad tempered beasts, they rushed towards where they thought we were. Now it just happened that we were about fifty yards to one side of where they expected to find us — which was just as well, for I must say I did not like their look.
