Anon. 1892. The Viceroy’s sporting excursion. Times of India, 27 February 1892.
Feb.25, 1892 Kuch Behar shooting camp
We started from the camp at 9 o’clock. In the first beat a fine rhinoceros was friven out to the Hon’ble Charles Harbord, who drove it back with a shot to Prince Christian Victor. The Prince put out a couple of shots, driving it back into the dense nulse jungle.
On Wednesday the party went out six miles on a pass close to the Government Forests, and breaking through the very heavy piece of nul, 35 feet high in places, drove out two fine rhinoceroses. One of them – the bull – was neatly killed by Surgeon-Major Fenn and the other by the Hon. C. Harbord and the Chevalier Scheibler.
