Text Appearing Before Image:
ind to concealhis approach. The yak, which is so tenacious of life that itseldom falls dead at the first shot, has a peculiar habit of stand-ing stock still for a few seconds after the shot has been fired,and then beginning his onslaught, always staring fixedly at thehunter in the meanwhile. This pause furnishes the hunter withhis opportunity, and yet he often finds it necessary to plungeseven or eight balls into the body of the animal before he canend its hardy life. The Mongolians hunt the yak with greatzest, for its flesh is a delicacy with them, and they ascribe goodluck to the possession of its head and blood. The nativetribes also dispose of its horns at a good price to the passingcaravans, while from the hairs on its rump and tail cords andstrings of great resistance are manufactured. Tibet would beuninhabited were it not for the dung the animal furnishes ingreat quantities, which is the sole burning material of the hardynomads who make that bleak and barren country their home.
