style="font-size:15px;"> "I've a Certus Cordite and my old .450 Express."
"Good as any. Soft-nosed bullets?"
"Yes, I have some."
"Well, use them; we'll be pretty close, and you'll want a stopping bullet if the old chap charges. What's Gilfain got?"
"A battery – a little of everything, from a .22 Mannlicher up to a double-barrel, ten-bore Paradox."
"Tell him to bring the Paradox – it won't take as much sighting as the rifle; Gilfain has probably done considerable grouse shooting. He's almost sure to miss his first tiger; nerves go to pieces generally. I'll get two elephants – you and Lord Victor in one howdah, and I'll take Mahadua in the other."
