Description
An unspecified cave, apparently containing a dark zone and forming secure retreat for some kind of cat (cave life: Felis var.), mentions OLIPHANT (1852, chapter XVII: ) in connection with attempting Tiger hunting on foot somewhere near Goonah (note 1): On our way home we came upon a cave, which, from marks in the neighbourhood, bore evident signs of containing a panther; we accordingly attempted to smoke him out by lighting quantities of straw at the mouth, but he was not to be forced out of his secure retreat, and preferred bearing an amount of smoke that would have stifled a German student.An unspecified cave, apparently containing a dark zone and forming secure retreat for some kind of cat (cave life: Felis var.), mentions OLIPHANT (1852, chapter XVII: ) in connection with attempting Tiger hunting on foot somewhere near Goonah (note 1): On our way home we came upon a cave, which, from marks in the neighbourhood, bore evident signs of containing a panther; we accordingly attempted to smoke him out by lighting quantities of straw at the mouth, but he was not to be forced out of his secure retreat, and preferred bearing an amount of smoke that would have stifled a German student.
