Mowgli then has an elephant take the left-to-die Brydon back to the village and promises to rescue Katherine. The next morning, Harley catches Mowgli escaping (with the aid of Bagheera) and gives chase, only to fall inВ quicksandВ and drown, despite Wilkins' help. That night, the group learns that Shere Khan has returned to the area and is following them. They then kidnap Katherine and her father (who is shot and wounded in the process) and use them as blackmail: if Mowgli leads them to the treasure, Katherine and her father shall live. They shoot and badly wound Baloo when he comes to Mowgli's defense. The men gather some bandits to capture Mowgli in order to find out where the treasure is. Meanwhile, Boone and his friends (Lieutenant Wilkins and Sergeant Harley) team up with Buldeo and his confederate Tabaqui. After Boone's cruel treatment of Mowgli, Katherine realizes she cannot marry Boone, so her father decides to send her back to England. Around this time, Mowgli returns to the jungle as he does not feel at home in the village, among Boone's friends. Boone later proposes to Katherine and she accepts. In doing so, Mowgli and Katherine fall in love, much to Boone's displeasure. Julius Plumford (a good friend of Brydon's) decide that they must re-introduce Mowgli to civilization. Katherine discovers an old bracelet of her mother's: one she gave to Mowgli when they were children, and instantly realizes who Mowgli is. Boone and his men manage to capture him and see that he is in possession of a valuable dagger that he took from Monkey City. Mowgli enters the village in search of Katherine. Katherine is also in a relationship with one of Brydon's soldiers, William Boone.

She and Mowgli meet again, but neither recognize the other. Elsewhere, Katherine and her father are still stationed in India. Years later, Mowgli, now a young man, discovers Monkey City, a legendary ancient city filled with treasure, owned byВ King Louiewho has his treasure guarded byВ KaaВ the python.

Mowgli also befriends a bear cub namedВ Baloo. Mowgli is soon spotted byВ BagheeraВ the gentle panther, who brings the boy to the wolf pack. In the confusion, Mowgli is lost in the jungle with his pet wolf,В Grey BrotherВ (so is left unaware of his father's death) - Brydon and his men now believe Mowgli has too been killed. Nathoo defends Buldeo who leaves him to be mauled to death by Shere Khan. When he tries to kill the third hunter, Buldeo. That night,В Shere KhanВ attacks the encampment, killing some soldiers who had been hunting for fun in the jungle earlier, which had enraged Khan. On one of his tours, he is leading Colonel Geoffrey Brydon and his men as well as Brydon's 5-year-old daughter Katherine, with whom Mowgli nicknames 'Kitty' and is close friends. During the times of theВ British RajВ in India, Mowgli is the 5-year-old son of the widowed Nathoo, whose wifeВ died in childbirth.
