Wed, 10 Jun 1942
The Hong Kong News reports that a 'fierce tiger' has been shot in Stanley Woods after a successful early morning hunt by the Hong Kong police.
It also publishes a picture of internee, B. W. Bradbury, a butcher skinning the tiger.
Edith Hamson sums up:
The tiger episode, despite the fear it engendered, brought relief from the never-ending boredom of Camp life. With the tiger dead we resumed our dreary existence.
