It was reported that Lord Reading, while golfing at Calcutta, was setting a line for his putt on the eighteenth green when a large hooded cobra raised itself up ready to strike from a short distance at the back of the Viceroy. Before it could move, however, Lord Reading's secretary rushed forward and killed the snake with a golf club. 5 Isaacs Week, from Time, dated Monday, Jan. 19, 1931 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,740874,00.html?iid=chix-sph ere ======== ----- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar Nagpur, India ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this incoming message.
