himself face to face with two full grown
lions, He started from Berhera for the
malls, two donkeys a pony and two
months provisions.
The game on the route were gazellc.
antelope guinea fowl and bustards. and at
night jackals and hyenas. Shortly after
reaching the Hand, which is a great water
less plateau. he met the two lions. ''ac-
tually waiting for me" nc writes 'all to
myself; a vast plain on all sides, clear OF
jungle as "a lawn, not another bush even
u was going 10 get them or they get
me. That was the only uncertainty in the
whole thing"
He goes on to say that what struck
for the first time was tina; there was none
OF that slim, weak appearance in the
hind quarters which is 50 visible in Gagged
lions.
Captain Melliss used much heavier
charge than MIR. Scsus. and seems to have
a well aimed shot. When he had killed
them the lions were skinned and the hides
tied behind two horSemen.
lie describes vividly his delight after his
frst days shooting. ~ shall never forget
the pleasure of it, he says. What a par

In four days he shot no less than five
lions and eight lionesses and captured four
cubs. ~
