in Sekukiniland native ran across poa
constructor measuring about forty-seven
feet. which had just swallowed young
koodoo buck, all except the horns. Inc
horns stuck out on each side OF
the reptiles mouth. The native rec
ognized the horns as those OF DUCK
he owned. and he ran and got sticks
and pinned the serpent, which was dor.
mant, to the ground. Then he got hold OF
the horns and pulled and twisted. He GOT
the buck out inch by inch, until half ITS
body showed. and then it came with
Jerk and the boy fell over on his back.
Before he had time to think twice the
snake, relieved of his load OF mutton, was
upon him, and it seized his head in It's
mouth, and in three minutes the natlVe
had taken the place OF the buck, only ne
was all inside; there was nothing lett out
TO pull on, even If rescuer had come
along. Having swallowed the boy the ooa
deliberately turned it's mead around ana,
grabbing its tail, swallowed eight feet OF
it. thus closing the mouth and throat,
down which the native had disappeared,
and making escape absolutely impossible.
The Transvaal vouches for The truth OF the
story.
