"[illegible] seen the animal
run across the fields which
were some 500 yds away. I
saw the dogs run cross
the fields later but the deer
must have been a long way
ahead of them. In the
afternoon we beat the fresh
near camp where the first deer
was shot but the dogs all
drew out a cast cat.
(13) The same men + dogs
took us out again this am
to to a new place for sambhur.
Before we got in position close
the beaters 2 large Sambhur came
out across the ravine. April
one but were in cover again
before I could get a shot at
them. They were not seen
again five returned aimless
to camp. The morning mist
hung across the valley but our
side was clear. A slight rain of
half hours duration ended just after
noon we had a thunder shower.
(14) Our day was fruitless
altho I spent most of it
beating for sambhur.
