Before starting on their adventurous journey, they call on the daughter of the planter, Mary, with a view to get further Information of the whereabouts of the tiger. Mary pleads to go with them, and after considerable pur- suasion, they reluctantly agreed.

The first part of the hunt is full of thrilling adventures, not parti- cipated by them but by the in- habitants of the jungle. First a desperate fight between a leopard and a python, and then a combat. between a tiger and a crocodile. These are followed by fights be- tween practically all flerce animals in the jungle ranging from 'tiger to lizard, and all of these are vivid- ly shown,

Apart from their trying ordeal, Jealousy soon crops up between the two men for the love of the girl, which subsequently resulted in a. fight between them

In the midst of their struggle, a herd of elephants comes along and one of the party is trampled to death.

The death of their leader, leaves Bob and Mary and the young Chinese boy, in a trying position, none of them knowing, the way to get out of the forest.
