South African lions are, beyond ques-

night. their natural hunting time, they
attack draft animals, or even men,
within few yards Of the campfires,
and are q constant and serious danger to
travellers in districts remote from the
main tracks Of traders. From the Zam-
bezi, through Newfoundland, and north
to the Limpopo chorus Of complaints

whose cattle or followers have suffered
from their attacks. Mr.. Selous has re-

Of the tethered donkeys knocked over.
It was not five yards from the fire, but

could not see the attacker. 1--WE knew
instinctively that lion had killed the
donkey, and was standing over him moi
five yards from where we were, but il
was hopeless to fire unless we saw some
thing, or at least could make certain Of
his whereabouts. -

partly lighting up the figures, until &
