A MAJOR’S ADVENTURE
Major Lambert, R.F.A., had a remarkable driving accident at Secunderabad in the beginning of this month, according to the Indian mail. He was driving along a road at Chilkulgoodium in the dark, and saw what he took to be a big dog lying in the middle of the road. He shouted at it, but it did not move. Then, thinking it was a sleepy native, he drove up to it, when it turned round, and proved to be a black bear. The pony took fright, and turned Major Lambert and tho cart into the ditch, and then started kicking, so the major had to sit on the pony’s head while the bear looked on.
After Majoc Lambert had spent some time in trying to unbuckle the harness, a few natives appeared, and drove the bear away. It proved to be a tame one, which had broken loose.
