2. • James Edward "Jim" 'Corbett (25 July
1875 – 19 April 1955) was a British-
Indian hunter and tracker-turned-
conservationist, author

number of man-eating tigers and
leopards in India.

3. • Here an attempt is made to bring into
focus the wild life. Jim Corbett nicely describe
the story of how tiger, actually tigress got
shoot.
• the story also explains that how hard it was to shoot this
man eater.
• With the very crucial circumstances man killed tigress
and man others relief.
• Now let us analyze this short story….
Prof. Kaushal Desai

4. • One person who narrates this story that how the
situation is going on in the surroundings while he
and other two men who following him and going
through undergrowth and ravine path to go further.
• The ravine was about ten yards wide and four or
five feel deep.
• Narrator speaks that on ravine he looked at the spot
from which bird had risen and as he don’t have
anything to keep eggs so he done cupping the left
hand to hold the eggs.Prof. Kaushal Desai

5. • He also now describes
that how hard it was to
track on the hill ravines
that rushes water flow,
As it was also crucial to
take steep to offer a
foothold.
• By handing the rifle to
the men he slides down
and observed the
situation.
• Somehow further the
men heard growling and
it may be tigers’ but it is
obvious that tigers do
Prof. Kaushal Desai

6. • After they left from open ground, the tigress
followed them.
• Slowly he going down the ravine so she (tigress)
don’t get see him and after that she didn’t find
him so she did slowly grow and left so that also
shows that tigress give no interest from the other
two men.
• After that he slowly stepped clear of giant slate
and looked behind his right shoulder and looked
straight into the tigress’ face.
• Then he glissaded down says her (tigress) fore-
paws stretched out and her hind legs well tucked
under her with that he also noticed that her head
was raised a few inches off her paws, was eight
Prof. Kaushal Desai

7. • One that he can make
his first move…
• And second, he move in
such a way that he give
no alarm the tigress or
make her nervous.
Prof. Kaushal Desai

8. • How to trigger that tigress?, as the rifle was in his right
hand held diagonally across his chest and in order to get it
to bear on the tigress the muzzle would have to be swung
round three-quarters of circle.
• It is hard to move rifle with one hand but somehow he
manages it.
• And after that he triggered the tigress but it might get more
sure that triggered bullet goes direct to tigress or what. But it
comes like nightmare that is it discharge the fact, and she
survives.
• but after sometime it is noticed that the bullet goes
damaged, as she moves, her outstretched paws and at the
same time blood issued from the bullet hole. The bullet
had injured her spine and shattered the upper portion of
her heart. Prof. Kaushal Desai

9. For an example
watch…
Prof. Kaushal Desai

10. • Matho Singh helped him to move his toes and told
to drop the eggs so he can fire it with a perfect way
and noticed that it was Chowgarh tigress I who sent
to the happy Hunting Grounds, where it observed
that her (tigress) threads of sixty-four human lives—
the people of the district put the number at twice the
figure-had, while the game was in her hands,
turned, and cut the thread of her own life.

11. a) The eggs in his left hand
b) The rifle he was carrying
c) The tiger being a man-eater
• He targets right upon it while difficulties are there
with him. The rifle was not that light and take it by
one arm gives still pain to him. After that men
made a detour and went up the hill to free the
buffalo and secure the rope, which was needed
and for pleasant purpose.
Prof. Kaushal Desai

12. • He placed eggs to rightful owner on the rock that
did duty as a nest, and when he passed that way
half an hour later, they had vanished under the
brooding mother whose coloring so exactly
matched the mottled rock that it was difficult for
him to know this power of nature and
motherhood.
Prof. Kaushal Desai

13. “if the tiger had been just an ordinary tiger, and
not a man-eater, it would, on finding itself
compered, have made for the opening and
wiped me out of the way, and to be wiped out
of the way by tiger usually has fatal results.”
Prof. Kaushal Desai
