A SLAYEIi OF TIGERS.
Reputation an Englishman
Made in Aruoy, China.
Has
Why Frank Leybarn's Name Is Famed In
All Parts or the Celestial Umpire
How lie Exterminated a
lilK Iteast.
Frank Leyburn is the hero of China
that is, he is one of the heroes, though
only a tea buyer for the firm of Jardine
& Co., in Arnoy, for he is famous as a
slayer of tigers and as such is talked
of in all that part of the great empire.
The tiger of China, he thinks, is not so
dangerous as that of India, but it is
fierce enough. Mr. Leyburn recently
arrived in San Francisco on his way to
London and gave some interesting de
tails. "With us," he said, "tiger hunting is
a mere sport, just like deer stalking is
in America, but when a ticrer trets a
taste of human blood he at once be
comes ferocious and is never satisfied
with any other diet. They become
transformed into what are known as
man eaters. Such a one makes his lair
near a village and waits his opportun
ity to seize a victim. Moonlight nights
suit him best. At such a time he is ex
tremely vigilant. He prowls about un
til he sees some belated straggler in
the streets. This is an opportunity for
which he has waited for hours, perhaps
for days. There is the flash of a heavy
body in the moonlight, a cry of terror,
a brief struggle, and the man eater is
off for his lair in the jungle bearing the
helpless body of a human being in his
massive jaws. Months later, it may be,
the whitened bones are found in the
dense undergrowth.
"One day two natives came to me at
our place in Amboy, stating that a
man had been carried off the night be
fore from a neighboring village. This
was just the opportunity I had been
waiting for. Taking out a heavy ex
press rifle which I had brought from
London, I -took the two natives to act
as guides and started out. I had al
ready learned something about the
habits of the man eater and knew just
how to go about it. From inquiry
among the natives I ascertained the
exact location of the lair of the tiger,
knees crept through the jungle. By
the cautious use of my lantern I found
the lair. Turning on the light, I was
startled to discover the hujre beast
curled up and sound asleep. His head
was resting on his paws and. squarely
facing me. As I prepared to level my
rifle at him he stirred uneasily. Turn
ing the light full upon him, he' raised
his head, but before he was thoroughly
aroused I sent a ball from my rifle
crashing through his brain. By good
fortune I had struck him squarely be
tween the eyes.'
"There v.-as a feast of rejoicing in the
village when I returned with the skin.
"Just before I left China on my pres
ent trip I struck a man eater who was
an old fellow and had a record of about
twenty victims. I had with me a double-barreled
rifle of large caliber. I
found no difficulty in tracing him to his
lair, but he gave me a narrow call be
fore I succeeded in iinishinjr him. The
trouble was that when I found him he
was awake and ferocious, apparently
from the effects of hunger. I had shot
so many that I thought nothing' of it
and gave my tiger one barrel out of
my gun. . Most unaccountably I missed
him clean, and his eyes fairly blazed.
"Lashing the ground with his tail, he
sprang toward me like a flash. As he
was in the air I let go with the other
barrel and struck him in the left shoul
der, the heavy bail penetrating to his
heart. He fell at my feet, and so close
was he that before he died I could feel
his hot breath upon me. It was the
most narrow escape that I ever had.
When measured, the tiger was found to
be almost 13 feet in length, and his
claws were 1 inches in length. I had
the latter mounted and distributed
among my friends."
