Queen Margarita on Horseback |
Surrender of Breda |
This is the scene described by famous Jim Corbett. In his own words,
“Now I was facing the tiger’s right side. I had a .275 rifle.
I aimed at the tiger and pulled the trigger. But io, the tiger vanished
with the sound of the shot. The dead buffalo was only lying there. I had
failed. The tiger had run away. Still I was optimistic. I thought that
the tiger would return to eat its prey. But, I was wrong.”
