A Morning's Deer-coursing Kondawataweny Rogue at Kondawa taweny A Close Shave Preparations for Catching an Elephant Catching an Elephant Taming Him Flying Shot at a Buck Cave at Dimbooldene Awkward Ground A Charmed Life. IT was in July, 1848, that I pitched my tent in the portion of Ceylon known as the 'Park, for the purpose of deer-coursing.
The grass was beautifully green; a few large trees shaded the tents, which were pitched near a stream, and the undulations of the ground, interspersed with clumps of trees and ornamented by rocky mountains, formed a most lovely scene. We sent a messenger to Nielgalla for Banda, and another to Dimbooldene for old Medima and the trackers, with orders to meet us at our present encampment.
There is a portion of the Park country known as Dimbooldene. In this part there is a cave formed by a large overhanging rock, which is a much cooler residence than the tent. Here we accordingly bivouacked, the cave being sufficiently large to contain the horses in addition to ourselves and servants.
