Tusk of the Wild Boar from Java Adventure
A Java boy named Kaboel recalls a 1929 jungle hunt with his father in which a massive boar chased him. He leapt to a tree, used rope to secure himself, and slept through the night while the wary animal wandered below before dawn. The tale appears as an Adventurers' Club yarn from Java.
