Fortunately the bomb, which was subsequently discovered, did not reach Kolhapur in time.

"I do not entertain any hope in this respect, for everything points to the fact that the Maharajah of Chanidigot is the man who has got the lady into his power.

Like the keen sportsman he was, he signalled his elephant and, mounting it, secured the feasting tiger with an easy shot.
