The Rifle and The Hound in Ceylon

CHAPTER VIII
42/53

I was out hunting, accompanied by my youngest brother.

We had walked through several jungles without success, but on entering a thick jungle in the Elk Plains we immediately noticed the fresh ploughings of an immense boar.

In a few minutes we heard the pack at bay without a run, and shortly after a slow running bay-there was no mistake as to our game.

He disdained to run, and, after walking before the pack for about three minutes, he stood to a determined bay.
The jungle was frightfully thick, and we hastily tore our way through the tangled underwood towards the spot.

We had two staunch dogs by our side, Lucifer and Lena, and when within twenty paces of the bay, we gave them a halloa on.
