A wolf rushed upon him suddenly from behind a bush, caught him up by the loins, and made off with him towards the ravines.

The father was at a distance at the time, but the mother followed, screaming as loud an she could for assistance.

The people of the village ran to her aid, but they soon lost sight of the wolf and his prey.
She heard nothing more of her boy for six years, and had in that interval lost her husband.

At the end of that time, two sipahees came, in the month of February, 1849, from the town of Singramow, which is ten miles from Chupra, on the bank of the Khobae rivulet.
While they sat on the border of the jungle, which extended down to the stream, watching for hogs, which commonly come down to drink at that time in the morning, they saw there three wolf cubs and a boy come out from the jungle, and go down together to the stream to drink.

The sipahees watched them till they had drank, and were about to return, when they rushed towards them.
