It was a superb bird, and, though very young, quite feathered.

Ernest had pronounced it to be the eagle of Malabar, and I confirmed his assertion; and as this species of eagle is not large, and does not require much food, I advised him to train it as a falcon, to chase other birds.

I took this opportunity to announce that henceforward every one must attend to his own live stock, or they should be set at liberty, mamma having sufficient to manage in her own charge.
We then made a fire of green wood, in the smoke of which we placed the buffalo-meat we had brought home, leaving it during the night, that it might be perfectly cured.

We had had some for supper, and thought it excellent.

The young buffalo was beginning to graze, and we gave him a little milk to-night, as well as to the jackal.
