The tigress was a mile away and the ground between her and us was densely wooded,scatterd over by great rocks and cut up by a number of deep ravines,but she could cover the distance well within half an hour-if she wanted to.The question I had to decide was,whether or not I should try to call her.If I called and she heard me,and came while it was still daylight and gave me a chance to shoot her,all could be well,on the other hand,if she came and did not give me a shot,some of us would not reach camp,for we had nearly two miles to go and the path the whole way ran through the jungle.
