Troy Budget* TIGER HUNTING. _ A lingular inltance of intrepidity frok place at Agnata, near Goa, on Tuefday, March 21, 1809. Early in the morning\ report was received at the cantonments, that a large cheetut (tiger) had been fcen on rocks near the ha. About nine o'clock a number ot officers rnd men affembled at the Ipot where it was fai'd to have been feen - when after fome fcarch the anhnal was dl£ covered to be in the reccis of an fmrnenfe rock: dogs were fent in, in the hopes of harting him, but without eBc£k—they hav¬ ing returned with feveral wounds. ( Lieutenant Evan Davies, of the 7th re¬ giment, attempted to enter the den, but was obliged to return, finding the paflage ex- $remety narrow and dark. He however, at¬ tempted it a fecond time, wiJi pickaxe in his hand, with which he removed fome ob- ttvueiions that were in his way. H proceeded a few yards, he heard a noife, wilich he etnceiveil to be that of the animal in quelb'on. He then returned, and com¬ municated the fame to Lieutenant Thew of the artillery, who alio went in fome diflance and was oi a iimilar opinion___What courfe to purfue was doubtful : fome propo!*-d blowing up the rock, others fmokfng him out. At length a por.fire A'is tied to the end of a bamboo, and introduced into a fmall crevice which led towards the den. Lieu¬ tenant Davie> went on his hands and knees down the narrow pafFage which led to it (which he accomplished with imminent dan¬ ger to himfelf,) and by the light he was en¬ abled to difcover the animal ; having return¬ ed, he faid that he could kill him wirh a pittol, which being procured, he entered a- gain and tired, but without fuccefs, owing to the awkward utuation he was then placed in, with his left hand only at liberty. He then obtained a muiket* and bayonet, and wounded him in the loins, bit was obliged to ittreat as quick as the narrow paflage would allow, the tiger having forced the mnflcet back towards the mouth of the den. He laitly procured a rifie, with which he a- gain forced hU way into the place, and tak¬ ing a deliberate aim at his head, fired and put au end to his exiltenee. Another difficulty it ill prcfented itfclf; how to get him out required fame coruidera- tion.
