MODE OF CAPTURING THE HYEyA-uTbs
Rev. n. Davis, in his Evening in Nv Tent -
gives the following account ST the peculiar
mode of capturing the hyena This ami
NAL, 1t appears, has two DOORS according O.
the Arab phraseology, to its abode, on account
Ot Its being so narrow that it cannot turn
about IN 1t. By one il enters, and by the
other 1t goes forth. The Arabs, on observing
one OF those animals, watch the hole by which
IL enters, and being prepared with a strong
rope net they proceed te place il carefully
over the opposite k7e whilst one of their fra
ternity, skilled in the profession, and prepared
with rope, works his way into the door by
which the hyena has entered As he nears
the animal, he charms il, according to NV in
iormant, saying, come my dear little creature.
VIII lead you to places where many carcases
are prepared for you; plenty of food waits
you Let me fasten this rope TO your beauti-
iul leg, and stand quiet whilst do so' This
sentence, or something very similar to it, is
repeated TIL the operation is effectually per-
formed, when the daring son Of Sahara begins
to gore the brute with a stilletto, or some such
weapon, till he Is forced to run into the net
prepared toT him, when he is either at once
Killed or carried off alive. But when il hap
pens that the men in charge of the net commit
some blunder, through which the hyena is
enabled to struggle and re-enter his abode,
the charmer, In spite of mis- charming, falls a
victen to his savage rage. and frequently his
companions can scarcely contrive TO get clear
without feeling something of its effects"
