INSTINCT OR REASON.

Correspondent OF Lana n WGteT
As this weII-hackDeyed subject has
ag lin been mooted IN your pages, I will
trouble you with yet another extract
from Colonel CampbelI's "Indian Jour
nal" promising that | have read Of a very
similar incident relative to the surrounding
of a herd of pallahs (Antilope melampuS)
by Il troop of lions 10 South Africa. Col
onel Campbell writes (p. 264) II was
as usual, scanning the horizon with my
telescope at daylight, to see if any game
was in }ght. | had discovered a small herd
of antelope feeding in IA field from whence
the crop had been lately removed, and was
about to take the glass from my eye for
the purpose Of accommodating the ground,
when, in a remote corner of the field, con
cealed from the antelope by o few inter-
veniug bushes, I family discerned in the
grey twilight a pack of six wolves, seated
on their headquarters like dogs, and APP
parently in deep consultation. 1t appea-
red evident that, like myself, they wanted
v%enison, and had some design upon the
anteIopes, and being curious to witness
The mode adopted by these f~our-legged
poachers, [ determined to watch their
motions. I accordingly dismounted, leav-
ing my horse in charge of the sowar, and
creeping as near the scene of action as I
could without being discovered, concealed
myself behind a bush. Having, apparent
ly, decided on their plan of attack, the
wolves separated, one remaining station
airy and the other five creeping cautiously
round the edge of the field, like settlers
drawing on a shy cover of birds. In this
manner they surrounded the unsuspecting
herd, one wolf lying down at each corner
of the field and the fifth creeping silently
towards the centre of it, where he conceal
ed himself in a deep furrow. The sixth
wolf, which had not yet moved, now start
ed from his hiding-place, and made a dash
at the antelope. The graceful creatures,
confident in matchless speed, tossed their
heads, as if in disdain, and started off in
a succession of flying bounds which soon
left their p~ursuer far behind. But no SOON
er did they approach the edge Of the field
than one of the crouching wolves started
up, turned them, and chased them in a
contrary direction, while bis painting ac-
complete lay down in his place to recover
wind for a fresh burst. Again the bound
, 1869-05-28

ing herd dashed across the plain, hoping
TO escape on the opposite side but here
they were once more headed by one Of the
crafty savages, who in his turn took up the
chase, and courSed them Till relieved by
a fresh hand from an opposite quarter. To
this manner the prosecuted animals were
driven from side to side, and from corner
to corner, a fresh assailant heading them
at every turn, till they appeared perfectly
Supplied with fear, and crowdIng together
like frightenedsheep beganto wheelround
in diminishing circles. All this time the
wolf which lay concealed in the furrow
near the centre ofthe field had never moved,
although the antelope had passed and re-
passed within q few feet of him, and had,
perhaps, even Jumped over him his Time
for action had not yet arrived. Il now be-
came evident that the unfortunate antelope
must soon be tired out, when it appeared
probable that the surrounding wolves
would have made a combined attack, and
driven the terrified herd towards the centre
OF the field, where the wolf who had hilh-
erto heen lying in reserve would have
sprung up in4the midst OF them, and Sc
cured at least one victim. |, however,
did not allow matters to proceed SO far.
| was satisfied with what | had seen, and
resolved 10 turn the tables on my friends
the wolves, by making a slight change In
the last act of the tragedy which was now
fast approaching. Accordingly, just as the
antelope appeared 10 be driven TO a stand
still, l put a stop to further proceeding on
the part of their ravenous assailants by
sending a rifle bullet through the body of
the nearest skulker, who incontinently
gave up the ghost; and his %sagacious
companions, seeing that their game was
up now that the man with the gun had
taken a hand, made a precipitate retreat,
leaving me undisputed master of the field.
I might easily have brought down an an
telope with my second barrel, for the
poor things appeared supplied with fear,
