Fooling a Tiger in an Indian Ruin Adventure
In Bengal near Jajur Captain Holt and I chased a distant ruin after a tiger had killed nearby game. While I slept a tiger crept up and, in a tense stand, toyed with me, biting gear and clothing before finally lifting me by the belt. I kept still as the beast examined me, hoping for it to tire of curiosity and depart.
