The Prince of Wales in the Nepaul Terai: Colonel Sir Arthur Ellis...with a Tiger...1876. Creator: Unknown
The Prince of Wales in the Nepaul Terai: Colonel Sir Arthur Ellis at close quarters with a Tiger, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876....the tiger sprang out, and in an instant charged the nearest elephant...The tiger was shaken off...but in another moment with a loud growl he violently charged Colonel Ellis's elephant, fastening himself on the animal's head, with his right paw clawing the elephant's forehead, and holding on by his teeth to the...seat, on which the mahout sits; he bit the man's knee, while with his left paw he clawed the elephant's ear severely, and at the same time the mahout's ankle. The elephant swerved...vainly endeavouring to shake off his adversary; but a shot from Colonel Ellis, who was able to lean over from the howdah, and to fire within a foot or so of the tiger's head, sent him staggering to the ground, and a second shot was unnecessary, as he lay quite dead'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
