ANECDOTE OF THE LION.
.
that
when the lion has once tasted human Mesh, he thenceforth en-
tirely loses his natural awe of human superiority : and it is as-
serted, that when he has once succeeded in snatching some un-
happy wretch from a Bushman kraal, he never fails to return
every night in search of another meal ; and often harasses
them so dreadfully as to force the horde to desert their sta-
tion. From apprehensions of such nocturnal attacks some
of these wretched hordes are said to be in the habit of
placing their aged and infirm nearest the entrance of the
cave or covert where they usually sleep, in order that the
least valuable may first fall a prey, and serve as a ransom
for the rest. The prodigious strength of this animal does
not appear to have been over-rated. It is certain, that he
can drag the heaviest ox with ease a considerable way ;
and a horse, heifer, hartebeest, or lesser prey, he finds no
difficulty in throwing upon his shoulder and carrying
off to
any distance he may find convenient. I have myself wit-
nessed an instance of 'a very young lion conveying a horse
about a mile from the spot where lie had killed it ; and a
more extraordinary ease, which occurred in the Sneeuw-
.berg, has been mentioned to me on good authority, where
a lion, having carried off a heifer of two years old, was fol-
lowed on the spoor or track for fully five hours, by a party
on horseback, and throughout the whole distance the car-
cass of the heifer was only once or twice discovered to have
touched the grouud,.... Thompson 4 South Africa.
