SKETCAlNG THE LIONS.
And How They Displayed Their Anger at
the Process.

News. When we bad crossed the Naal riv-
or and were in the lion country, the artist
one day got the idea that he wanted a Ger
tain sketch from which to make paint
ing when he returned home. He had
sketched our captive lions as we took
them from the pits, but what he sighed
forwas a group of free lions by moonlight
That he might carry out his idea we had
the natives erect a house of observation
for him on the edge OF sandy plain.
-Four stout posts We're set lii the ground,
and at a distance of Ia feet from the earth
crosspieces were dashed to them and cage
IL feet square built up. This cage was of
the height Of man, and the bars were
of hard wood 4 inches wide and . inches
thick. 1t was just such cage as we built
to bold full grown black rhinoceros.
We had captured tw lions in pits before
the period of the full moon arrived. 1t
had been noticed that of all the lions APP
, preaching our camp the most of them came
from the desert, which ran back II miles
to a range of hills. One evening, when
the right time had come, | accompanied
Mr.. Tuft to the cage, having agreed TO
bear him company through the night. We
took provisions and bedding but no fire
arms. 1t was calculated that the cage
could defy anything except an elephant,
