Squinting Briton and the Tiger in India Tale
A British lieutenant recounts a comic squint that supposedly saved his life with a tiger in India. He describes the tense encounter, the orderly, and the pivotal moment when his unusual gaze unsettled the beast, which later died. The captain jokes about patenting the squint, while noting the tiger’s death the next morning.
