Wilson, Lt.-Col. Alban

Sport and Service in Assam and Elsewhere

Size: 24.2 x 16 cm

Published by: Hutchison & Co. First edition, Large 8vo, PP xv, 320, with 20 black and white plates, original red canvas binding, title in gilt on spine. Ex Library copy else good. Colonel Wilson was fishing on a fine river, the Dhansiri, near Nichuguard. He says: "Whilst I was fishing, a native came and spun me various yarns about the enormous fish a sahib had caught there the previous year, one of which was so large the narrator had to take his clothes off to help to land it. From further enquiries I elicited particulars which showed that this angler could be no other than myself, and as on this occasion I had killed nothing over 6 lbs., I suggested that this 18-Pounder would have grown to 80 lbs. by the time the next sahib came along."
