The dogs had given chase; but, as usual in such cases, they were so alarmed as to be almost useless.

We quickly collected firebrands and searched the jungles, and shortly we arrived where a dog was barking violently.

Near this spot we heard the moaning of some animal among the bushes, and upon a search with firebrands we discovered the goat, helpless upon the ground, with its throat lacerated by the leopard.

A sudden cry from the dog at a few yards' distance, and the barking ceased.
The goat was carried to the camp where it shortly died.

We succeeded in recalling two of the dogs, but the third, which was the best, was missing, having been struck by the leopard.
