Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

We are told that 300,000 Souls have perished in this storm; but believe the number is exaggerated; a prodigious Quantity of Cattle of all sorts, a great many Tigers in the lower Ganges, and several Rhinoceros were drowned, even a great many Caymans, Amphibious Animals, were killed by the furious agitation of the waters, and also an innumerable quantity of Birds were beat down into the river: In short, this Hurricane was the most dreadful that has ever been heard of in India. The water was 40 feet higher than usual in the Mouth of the Ganges.
