Modern Pig-Sticking #225655

Nightingale must have been a great Chara he shot several hundred tiger, and speared over seventy bears. His whole regiment, after the quarterly muster parade, spent their days in beating for him. I heard much of him from A, my first General in this country, who, as a youngster, had been a protégé of his. His methods, according to A, with a jibbing horse were severe in the extreme. Dealing as I am entirely with modern pig-sticking I write no more on the history of the sport, for I am sure you will find the above brief summary sufficient. Any encyclopaedia will furnish you with such further information as you may require on this point with a greater accuracy than I can claim to. Nor do I attempt to give you details of all the hunting countries from Cape Comorin to Peshawar. They of course vary enormously: some I know.
