Account of the Hunting Excursions of Afoph Ul Doulab, Vizier of the Mogul Empire, and Nabob of Oude. By W. Blane, Efq; who attended thefe Excurfions in 1785 and 1786. HE Vizier, Afoph ul Doulah, always as foon as the cold season is well fet in; that fets out upon his annual hunting-party is, about the beginning of December; and he ftays out till the heats, about the beginning of March, force him back again. Durcountry from four to fix hundred miles, aling this time, he generally makes a circuit of ways bending his courfe towards the skirts of the northern mountains, where the country, being wild and uncultivated, is the most proper for game. only his household and Zenana, but all his When he marches, he takes with him, not court, and a great part of the inhabitants of his capital. Befides the immediate attendants about his perfon, in the various capacities of RhidMewatics, &c. which may amount to about mitghars, Frashes, Dhobdars, Harcaras, two thoufand, he is attended in camp by five or fix hundred horfe, and feveral battalions of regular fepoys, with their field pieces. He takes with him about four or five hundred elephants; of these fome are broke in for riding, fome for fighting, fome carry baggage, and the reft are referved for clearing the jungles and forefts of the game: of thirty ready caparifoned, with Howdahs the firft kind, there are always twenty or and Amarys, that attend clofe behind the one he rides upon himself, that he may change occafionally to any of them he likes ; or he fometimes permits fome of his attenabout five or fix hundred fumpter horfes, a dants to ride upon them. He has with him faddled near him; many of them are beaugreat many of which are always led ready Arabian breed; but he feldom rides any of tiful Persian horfes, and fome of them of the them. Of wheel-carriages, there are great many of the country fathion drawn by of the women; befides which, he has with bullocks, principally for the accommodation two, and fometimes a chariot; but all thefe, him a couple of English chaifes, a buggy or like the horses, are merely for fhow, and never ufed; indeed, he feldom ufes any other conveyance but an elephant, or fometimes, when fatigued or indifpofed, a palanquin, of which feveral attend him. a The arms he carries with him are a vaft lifh pieces of various kinds-piftols (of which number of matchlocks-a great many Engforty or fifty pairs-bows and arrows-behe is very fond,) a great number, perhaps U u 2 1 fides fwords, fabres, and daggers innumerable. One or more of all thefe different kinds of arms he generally has upon the ele phant with him, and a great many more are carried in readiness by his attendants. The animals he carries for fport are dogs, principally grey-houn is, of which he has about three hundred-hawks, of various kinds, at least two hundred-a few trained leopards, called Cheetads, for catching deer -and to this lift I may add a great many markimen, whofe profeffion is to shoot deer -and fowlers who provide game, for there are none of the natives of India who have any idea of fhooting game with fmall hot, or of hunting with flow hounds. He is alfo furnished with nets of various kinds, fome for quail, and others very large, for fishing, which are carried along with him upon elephants, attended by fishermen, fo as to be always ready to be thrown into any river or lake he may meet with on the march. Befides this catalogue for the fport, he carries with him every article of luxury or pleafure; even ice is tranfported along with him to cool his water, and make ices; and a great many carts are loaded with the Ganges water, which is esteemed the best and lighteft in India, for his drink. The fruits of the feafon and fresh vegetables, are fent to him daily from his gardens to whatever diftance he may go, by laid bearers, ftationed upon the road at the diftance of every ten miles, and in this manner convey whatever is fent by them at the rate of four miles an hour, night and day. Befides the fighting elephants, which I have mentioned, he has with him fighting antelopes, fighting buffaloes, and fighting rams, in great numbers and, laftly, of the feathered kind (befides hawks), he carries with him feveral hundred pigeons, fome fighting cocks, and an endless variety of nightingales, parrots, minos, &c. all of which are carried along with his tents. : What I have hitherto enumerated are the appendages of the Nabob perfonally; be fides which, there is a large public Bazar, or, in other words, a moving town, attends his camp, confifting of fhopkeepers and artificers of all kinds, money-changers, dancing women, &c.; fo that, upon the moft moderate calculation, the number of fouls in his camp cannot be reckoned at lefs than twenty thousand. There are generally about twenty or thirty of the gentlemen of the Court, who at tend him on his hunting parties, and are the companions of his fport and pleafures. They are principally his own relations in different degrees of confanguinity; and fuch as are not related to him, are of the old refpectable families of Ilindoftan, who either have Jaghires, or are otherwise supported by the Nabob: all of these are obliged to keep a fmall establishment of elephants for the fake of attending the Nabob; besides horfes, a palanquin, &c. The Nabob, and all the gentlemen of his camp, are provided with double fets of tents and camp equipage, which are always fent on the day before to the place whether he intends going, which is generally about eight or ten miles in whatever direction he expects more game; fo that by the time he has finished his fport in the morning, he finds the whole camp ready pitched for his reception. His Highness always rifes before daybreak, and after using the hot bath, he eats an English breakfast of tea and toast, which is generally over by the time the day is well broke. He then mounts his elephant, attended by all his household and Swary, and preceded by fome muficians on horseback, finging, and playing on mufical inftruments. He proceeds forward, and is prefently joined from the different quarters of the camp, by the gentlemen of his Court, who having paid their refpects fall in upon their elephants on each side of, or behind, the Nabob's, fo as to form a regular moving Court or Durbar; and in this manner they march on converfing together, and looking out for game. A great many dogs are led before, and are conftantly picking up hares, foxes, jackalls, and fometimes deer. The hawks are alfo carried immediately before the elephants, and are let fly at whatever game is fprung for them, which generally confifts of partridges, in great numbers and varieties, quails, buftards, and different kinds of herons, which laft give excellent sport with the falcons or tharp-winged hawks The Nabob takes great pains in ranging the elephants in a regular line, which is very extenfive, and by proceeding in this ́manner no game can efcape. The horse are generally at a little diftance upon the wings, but fmall parties of three or four horsemen are placed in the intervals of. or before the elephants, in order to ride after the hawks, and affift the dogs when loofed at deer, or very often the horsemen run down what we call the hog-deer, without any dogs. Wild boars are fometimes ftarted, and are either fhot or run down by the dogs and horfemen. When intelligence is brought of a tyger, it is matter of great joy, as that is confidered as the principalfport, and all the reft only occafional to fill up the time. Preparati ons are inftantly made for purfuing him, which is done by assembling all the elephants, with as many people as can conveniently go upon their backs, and leaving all the reft, whether on foot or on horseback, behind. The The elephants are then formed into a line, and proceed forward regularly; the Nabob and all his attendants having their fire arms in readiness. The cover in which the tyger is moft frequently found, is long grafs, or reed fo high as often to reach above the elephants, and it is very difficult to find him in fuch a place, as he either endeavours to fteal off, or lies fo clofe as that he cannot be roufed till the elephants are almoft upon him. He then roars and fkulks away, but is thot at as foon as he can be feen; and it is generally contrived, in compliment to the Nabob, that he fhall have the firft fhot at him. If he is not difabled, he continues fkulking away, the line of elephants following him, and the Nabob and others shooting at him as often as he can be feen, till he falls. Sometimes when he can be traced to a particular spot where he couches, the elephants are formed into a circle round him, and in that cafe, when he is roufed, he generally attacks the elephant that is nearest to him, by fpringing upon him with a dreadful roar, and biting at, or tearing him with his claws. but in this cafe, from his being obliged to fhew himself, he is foon difpatched by the number of fhots aimed at him; for the greateft difficulty is to roufe him, and get a fair view of him. The elephants all this time are dreadfully frightened, fariek ing and roaring in a manner particularly expreffive of their fear: and this they begin as foon as they fmell him, or hear him growl, and generally endeavour to turn back from the place where the tyger is: fome of them, however, but very few, are bold enough to be driven up to attack him, which they do by curling the trunk close up under the mouth, and then charging the tyger with their tusks; or they endeavour to prets him to death by falling on him with their knees, or treading him under their feet. If one tyger is killed, it is confidered as a good day's fport: but fometimes two or three are killed in one day, or even more, if they meet with a female and her cubs. The Nabob then proceeds towards his tents upon the new ground, fo that every day is both a marching day and a day of fport; or fometimes he halts for a day or two upon a place that he likes, but not often. When he gets to his tents, which is generally about eleven or twelve o'clock, he dines, and goes to fleep for an hour or two. in the afternoon he mounts his elephant again, and takes a circuit about the fkirts of the camp, with the dogs and hawks; or fometimes amufes himfelf with an elephant fight, with fhooting at a mark, or fuch like amufements; and this courfe he repeats every day infallibly during the whole of the party. The other principal objects of the Nabob's fport are, wild elephants, buffaloes, and rhinoceros. I was prefent two years ago at the chace of a wild elephant of prodigious fize and ftrength. The plan firft followed, was to endeavour to take him alive by the affistance of the tame elephants, who try to furround him, whilft he was kept at bay by fireworks, fuch as crackers, porte-fires, &c. but he always got off from them, notwithftanding the drivers upon fome of the tame elephants got fo near as to throw noozes of very ftrong ropes over his head, and endcavoured to detain him. by faftening them round trees, but he fnapped them like packthread, and held on his way towards the forest. The Nabob then ordered fome of the frongest and most furious fighting elephants to be brought up to him. As foon as one of them came near him, he turned and charged him with dreadful fury; fo much fo, that in the ftruggle with one of them, he broke one of his turks in the middle, and the broken piece (which was upwards of two inches in diameter, of folid ivory) flew up in the air feveral yards above their heads. Having repelled the attacks of the fighting elephants, he pursued his way with a low and fullen pace towards his cover. The Nabob then feeing no poffibility of taking him alive, gave orders for killing him. An inceffant fire from matchlocks was immediately commenced upon him from all quarters, but with little effect, for he turned twice round and charged the party. In one of thefe charges he struck obliquely upon the elephant which the Prince rode, and threw him on his fide, but fortunately paffed on without offering farther injury to him. The Prince, by laying hold of the Howdah, kept himself in his seat, but the fervant he had behind, and every thing he had with him on the Howdah, was thrown off to a great diftance. At laf, our grifly enemy was overpowered by the number of bullets fhowered upon him from all fides, and he fell dead, after having receiv. ed, as was computed, upwards of one thoufand balls in his body.
