page 28 note * Mr. Davis, while exploring some ruins near Gaur, was attacked and wounded in the leg by a bear, who had taken up his abode in a dark recess. As soon as Mr. Davis had recovered from his wounds, he returned to the spot, sought out the bear, and shot him. The wound Mr. Davis received was so severe, as to render him lame for life.
