About a hundred yards
along the path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led
into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through these,
I decided that if we walked along the bottom of this valley we could go up
again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
As I climbed down into
the valley a bird flew off a rock on which I had put my hand. On
looking at the spot from which the bird had risen I saw two eggs. They
were a kind that I did not have in my collection.
So I placed them carefully in my bag,
wrapping them in dry grass.
As we went further down
the valley, the sides became steeper(陡峭)and
not far from where I had entered it came to a drop of about twelve to fourteen
feet. The
water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the
rock as glass.
As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my
gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the
sandy bottom when two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They
quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In
fact, I had heard nothing, possibly because of the noise I made sliding down
the rock. The
men said they had heard a tiger growling(吼)somewhere
nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.
