The sharas who live here are
hunters + attend guides to
Sacambar, both mahouts,
clerks & neither tigers or
ingapaloes occur here they
said.
(2) Some of the resident
sharas (12 men) went out
driving into Alor nothing
of big game was seen. The
traps caught several large
Pachyurus + house rats.
(3) We had better success
today & caught a large
new Springa + a new large
Insectivore like the one I
muching & A caught in
Palecat. At noon Mr Oo
called me out to witness a
large river cat eating only
the flesh parts of the cattle.
& shot the animal which
proved to be 6th or lean combition
+ probably sick which my
accounts for its boldness. A
monkey was also seen while
driving game + no Sacambar.
