THE WAY a NAN SAVED HIS LIFE.
Nice viii te.gn death TO escape a Cat,
and even human beings at times adopt
This ruse 10 escape from various enc
u.es. Almost every great lion hunter
has tried it with this ANNA. and o'-en
with success. A famous elephant 1Un-
ter was caught by a rogue elephant and
tossed into the air. after which the fer0-
c.ous brute attempted TO kneel upon
h.m and crush him; but the hunter did
not move. realizing that il was his only
salvation. and the elephant thinking
him dead. turned and ran into the brush.
One of the most remarkable instances
Of presence of mind on record was that
shown by Se,ous. the African big game
sportsman. He was caught by an en-
-asaJ elephant which he had wounded
and pinned 70 the earth by tusk which
cut through his thigh TO the bone, tear
iug gaping wound Selous retained
fr.i consciousness and pretended TO be
dead. The elephant watched him close
,y for q few moments TO see if he was
alive. then ie-ked his tusk from his
body and the ground which il had pene-
--a.td. rose TO its feet and staggered on
90 receive its death from the friends OF
the u,ucky hunter who had not fired
fearing thar the animal would fall and
crush the wounded man.
