The Dublin University Magazine Vol 22

Excerpt from The Dublin University Magazine, Vol. 22: A Literary and Political Journal; July to December, 1843 Among the few reliques of my Indian life was a hear-skin cap and hood, which I prized highly.

This was then to me a thing which, as I had met with not many kindnesses in the world, I valued at something far beyond its mere price: and would rather have parted with any, or all I possessed, than lose it. Well, one day on my return from a fishing excursion, as I was pass ing the door of the mess-room, what should I see but a poor idiot that frequented the barrack, dressed in my bear-skin.
