Weakened and transfiXed with fear at
the same time by series of yells that,
as soon as L gathered my wits, 1 knew
to he the angry calls of jaguar, or
South American lion. The fire had
burned so low that it no longer served
to keep such formidable intruders
away; neither did it shed sufficient
light to afford much aid in locating the
exact position of the creature, whose
blood curdling cries seemed to come
from a spot almost at my very feet.
However, sitting up with my pistol,
with it's only two remaining shots, in
my hand, 1 was soon able to discern in
the Pickering light a crouching form
about fifteen feet away watching me
with the utmost intentness and keep
ing up the incessant beating Of the tail
upon the ground which always denotes
the utmost tension of the nervous ener-
gy in all the cat tribe. This was quite
bad enough but when, an instant later,
I discovered that the yells of rage that
walked me were not from this creature,
and it dawned upon me that all that
temporarily saved me from attack was
the fact that two of the giant cats
claimed me and were in their way dis
