Excerpt from Tigerland Reminiscences of Forty Years Sport, and Adventure in Bengal It was in the year 187 - that I first met with the individual whose sporting reminiscences are recorded in this narrative. He had then, though still comparatively young, been already seventeen years in India - after five spent at sea as cabin boy and seaman, having started life as a stowaway when about fifteen years of age. As I came to know him better, and had learnt something of his life, I recognized that his had been no ordinary existence but one full of strange and interesting experiences, specially in connection with the hunting of big game. His stories of these adventures interested me greatly, and seemed so strange and out of the way as compared with others that I had read or heard of, that I tried to induce him to write and publish them, but he declined absolutely, having - as he declared - a strong objection to seeing his name in print. I came across him again often during my long service in India, and each time he had something new to tell me - some fresh hunting story or interesting adventure he had experienced, till I had collected quite a budget of his stories, for I always wrote them down. I met him again, many years later, in England, shortly after he had retired - by which time he had added considerably to his stock of interesting adventures with big game, and delighted in relating his experiences, though disinclined as ever to publish them. Finally, seeing it was useless attempting to persuade him, yet confident that his reminiscences would make interesting reading, I suggested writing them for him - using his diary, and the very elaborate notes he had made from time to time.
