Captain speFe the undaunted explorer Of the
Nile, aler passing unhmt through many pcrils
by land and water, fell O victim 10 an ngodoas
accident in the heart Of England, Jules Gerard,
the celebrated lon-kiler and African traveller,
has, it is rumored by the last foreign arrival,
been drowned while crossing river in Africa.
Delivered like Daniel of old, from the mouth of
the lion and the paw Of the bsar, he, too, has
fallen victim to an accident which happens daily
in the most civilized countries.
Gerard is chiefly known in this country by his
exciting book on liOn-hunting. He gives picture,
by no means dattering of the King OF Beasts, and
certainly his acquaintance with the huge animals
was intimate enough 10 make him much better
Judge of the case than most men can be. Recently
Gerard headed an amateur expedition into
Algeria formed of sportsmen who also wished to
see and shoot lions
