The Story Continues...

Now, I shall continue with the story of Darbarra Singh. When we had left off, Kehar Singh had been on the ground with a lion. A event that had occurded due to the fact that he had gone hunting with the British and had not climbed on the tree. The following is the story:

Then what? The roaring tiger pounced upon Kehar Singh and the agile, fearless and resolute solider thrust his spear into the mouth of the tiger. The wounded and ferocious beast put his whole weight and force to reach the human combatant who did the same on his side. Lo, both the tigers, one called Sher and the other called Kehar, roared at each other. The spear pierced through the mouth, the wind-pipe and the neck of the tiger. The Englishman took a photo of the bout on his hand-camera, when the fight was still on. That photo is published in the famous and voluminious book, "Shaheedi Jiwan," by Sardar Gurbaskh Singh Shamsher Jhabalia, published in 1938. The tiger died writing like a fish. The British Army Officer came down from the tree, patted, embraced, and applauded Kehar Singh.
