The Gorakhpur forests have been remarkable for other waifs and strays. A rhinoceros, pehraps carried down by the monsoon floods, once took up his quarters in the Government forest, and was soon observed, for in these small areas so large an animal could not be hid; and he too succumbed to a single shot from a Martini-Henry rifle, which easily pierced the tough skin on the shoulders.
