Topar had shewn much indignation at our going on, and constantly remonstrated with us as we were riding along; however, we saw two young native dogs about a third grown, after which he bounded with incredible swiftness, but when they saw him they started off also.

It was soon evident, that both were doomed to destruction, his speed being greater that that of the young brutes, for he rapidly gained upon them.
The moment he got within reach of the hindmost he threw a stick which he had seized while running, with unerring precision, and striking it full in the ribs stretched it on the ground.

As he passed the animal he gave it a blow on the head with another stick, and bounding on after the other was soon out of our sight.

All we knew further of the chase, was, that before we reached the spot where his first prize lay, he was returning to us with its companion.

As soon as he had secured his prey he sat down to take out their entrails, a point in which the natives are very particular.
