Peeprah Factory with its many patches of jungle, its various lakes and fine undulating country, was another favourite rendezvous for the votaries of pig-sticking. The house itself was quite palatial, built on the bank of a lovely horseshoe lake, and embosomed in a grove of trees of great rarity and beautiful foliage.
When once you turn him out from his lair, there is grand hunting room before he can reach the distant patch of jungle to which he directs his flight. Kuderent jungle. Charged by a pig. The biter bit. 'Mac' after the big boar. The horse for pig-sticking. The line of beaters. The boar breaks. 'Away! Away! First spear. Pig-sticking at Peeprah. The old 'lungra' or cripple. A boar at bay.
At one time there was a pack of harriers, which would lead us a fine, sharp burst by the thickets near the river after a doubling hare; but as a rule a meet at Peeprah portended death to the gallant tusker, for the jungles were full of pigs, and only honest hard work was meant when the Peeprah beaters turned out. The whole country was covered with patches of grass and thorny jungle.
