Saurian Slaughter in Indian Lake Exterminates Crocodiles
An account recalls Captain McArthur and British troops storming the Gauai lake in India to destroy a crocodile-infested basin used by a fanatical sect. After a drawn out battle, about a hundred or more adult crocodiles were killed with a ditch, cannon, and rifles. One captive chief and a native widow are noted among the casualties and peculiar details include a man’s tooth offered in memory of his wife eaten by the reptiles.
