There wont be a dry eye in the cantonment if he goes under. How was it the other man got hurt? Well, I hear that the tiger sprang on to the General selephant and seized him by the leg. They both went off together, and the brute shifted its hold to the shoulder, aiid carried him into the jungle; then the other fellow slipped off his elephant and ran after the tiger. He got badly mauled too; but he killed the brute and saved the General slife. By Jove! that was a plucky thing. Who was he? Why, he was the chap who was walking backwards and forwards with the General when the band was playing yesterday evening. Several of the men remarked how like he was to you, Sanderson. I noticed it, too. There certainly was a strong likeness. Yes, some of the fellows were saying so, Sanderson replied. He passed close to me, and I saw that he was about my height and build, but of course I did not notice the likeness; a man does not know his own face much A nyhow, he only sees his full face, and doesnt know how hejooks sideways. He is a civilian, isnt he? Yes, I believe so; I know that the General is putting him up at his quarters. He has been here about a week. 1think he is some man from England, traveling, I suppose, to see the world. I heard the Adjutant speak of him as Mr. Simcoe when he was talking about the affair. Of course they will take him to the General sbungalow? No; he is going to the next. Major Walker is away ui5v and the doctor says that t is better that they should be mdifferent bungalows, because then if one gets delirious and noisy he wont disturb the other. Dr. Hunter is going to take up his quarters there to look after him, with his own servants and a couple of hospital orderlies.
