The Hodurga Holalkere Man-Eater | Kenneth Anderson | Man Eating Tiger Story By Kenneth Anderson
Night, when we would surely meet the man-eater, sooner plater, particularly when passing the palm-grove.
Accordingly we set out at 7 p.m. that night, and had left Holalkere a mile behind when the tall, spreading leaves of the palm-trees came into view, the close array of their spiky trunks being entirely hidden from view at the base by a dense and continuous stretch of lantana undergrowth.
From this point we motored onwards at a snail’s pace, flashing the spot-light in all directions, while the gleaming headlights pierced the road before us. Proceeding in this fashion for a half-mile, we came upon what looked like a very black, hairy man who had climbed a palm-tree some 15 feet high to the right of us. and was busy gulping down bunches of the small, yellow half-ripe palm dares that hung in clusters from among the spiky fronds.
