The sky blazed with stars Presently, the moon rose The sight of
bear tracks in the dust - the square front paw and long back one, with
the shaggy claws made him glance round insanity. He had once seen a
man who had been mauled by a bear all his face torn away. He
quickened his steps.
Soon, on a cliff above a river bed Sher Singh knew he could no further
with out rest. He set Kunwar down gently. Suddenly all of Sher Singh's
muscles shrinking back to their natural positions, thrilled with piercing
pain. He lay against a tree with his eyes shut, recovering.
It was then he heard the jostle and squeal of elephants. Below him on
each side of the shallow river bed the elephants travelled. He could see
the cows and the babies and one great old tusker. He was playing his
trunk to and fro to learn whatever the breeze could tell him and
suddenly he hesitated. Sher Singh chilled with fright. With Kunwar to carry he could neither
climb nor run. Prayer after prayer fled up from his frightened spirit.
The tusker snorted, trumpeted shook his head. Suddenly he hurried
on angrily up the river bed, and all the herd with him. They
disappeared.
