But Alexis, who had been watching the restless movements of his brother, had prepared himself for such an issue; and, waiting till the bruang made a pause just under the branches, he fired his rifle with deadlier aim. The bear, in clutching to one of the limbs, had extended his body outward, and this gave the rifleman the chance of aiming at his head.
Bear, bruang: generally small and black: climbs the coconut-trees in order to devour the tender part or cabbage. THE PALANDOK, A DIMINUTIVE SPECIES OF MOSCHUS. Sinensis delt. THE KIJANG OR ROE, Cervus muntjak. W. Bell delt. A. Cardon sc.
His advice, therefore, was, that the hunters should conceal themselves behind the trunks of the surrounding trees; and, observing silence, wait till the bruang had finished his mellifluous repast, and feel inclined to come down. The Dyak said he would make his descent stern foremost; and, if they acted cautiously, they might have him at their mercy, and almost at the muzzles of their guns.
It was of little use firing also his shot barrel, though he did so immediately after. The effect of his shots was to frighten the bruang back up the tree; and at the first report he commenced ascending. Almost as rapidly as a cat he swarmed upward; and for a moment the chances of losing him appeared as two to one.
