Attacked by an Orang-Outang.

"Chief," the big orang-outang whose
pensive air and almost human tricks
have for years caused visitors to the
zoo to wonder just how much there
really is in Darwin's theory, attacked
his keeper, and if the latter had not
succeeded in backing out Of the cage
as he fought the beast of, there might
have been enacted another OF the har.
rowing stories that travellers tell OF
the orang-outang's strength and fierce
ness.
"Chief' lies in the large building
near the seal ponds. His keeper,
James NJ. Murray, was feeding the
animals and had passed down the row
of cages, in each leaving dinner for
some hungry resident of the zoo.
He entered "Chief's" cage from the
rear, as he had entered all the others.
The big ape was out of humor. He
had been rather surly for O day OF
two, but he had not attempted any
tricks that would remind the keeper
to keep his eyes about him.
Murray put the cup and pan in their
usual place, when, with sudden dart
and q snarl 80 fierce that all the other
animals in the house began to chatter
and shrink, the orang:outang leaped
across the cage and gripped the keep.
er's foot in his vise-like jaws. Murray
realized that his life was in danger.
There was no weapon, save the light
pan and cup, within his reach. He
saw thai it would be hand-to-hand
struggle with the enraged animal If he
would escape, and with the odds largely
in favor of his antagonist, who had
four hands to his two and fierce set
of teeth into the bargain.
Orang.outang fighting under such
circumstances was new to him, and he
had to trust to his instinct. He leaned
over at once to choke the ape, bring.
ing his neck within the reach Of those
powerful spider-like arms, but at that
moment "Chief" released his grip on
his foot and made for his body as il to
bury his teeth in the keepers side.
Murray was too quick for him and
fought him off. Fortunately, the
orang.outang was not in good condi'
ton, long confinement having taken
from him some OF his fierceness. Mur-
ray was following up his advantage
when the animal caught an opening,
and in 6, second had bis jaws fixed on
the keepers right arm, which had
been extended to ward him of.
BE tugged and beat until finally
"Chief' let 20 his bite. The arm was
badly lacerated. but Murray had the
satisfaction OF knowing that "Chief'
will nurse two bruised eyes for while.
that is if there is enough tissue round
an orang-outang's eye to shows bruise.
The keeper backed out OF the cage
warily, while tho snarling ape leaped
to and fro in front of him in q ferret
eyed search for good opening. He
got away without further harm, and
had his wound dressed at the Presby.
terian hospital. Later IN the day
Murray was able to return to duty

changed his position and was trying
to find out where I was. After this
the Benins must have known where we
were, as we could hear three of them
walking round and round US until
long after daylight. Then they seemed
to leave us, but why or wherefore they
did I cannot tell. We thought that
they imagined we were already done
for. However, instead of being shot
when We moved off, as We half ex.
pected to be, we saw no one and got
away. Although we heard plenty of
people we met no one until the last
day, as we kept to the bush as much
as possible.
son the fifth day we came across a
small creek which We knew must lead
to the Gwato Creek. We walked down
into small waterside village. There
the few men, instead of giving US the
water we asked for, hurried US off into
a small canoe until we were round
corner. Then they let US drink all we
wanted. These men were Jakries, who
trade with the Benin men, and they
took US across to bigger Jakrie vii

There we got larger canoe, got urs'

to the Benin River, which we reached
