This man was +. T. Summers, who was

lie was at Opobo when he received the
bite OF the deadly reptile, which was
about seven feet long. The natives of
Opobo reported a wild elephant in the
bush and Mr.. Summers accompanied
District Commissioner Stein, of the
Niger coast protectorate, in pursuit of
the animal. 1t was while out in the
bush that the unfortunate man was at
tackled by the serpent.
The snake, which made a dash at
Summers unobserved, fixed its fangs
in the ankle of the right boot. After
getting free Summers, who showed
great pluck, managed with the aid OF
his companion to dispatch the viper
by blowing its head off. Immediately
after being bitten Summers leg com
inenced to swell and he was carried with
all speed possible to the consulate. In
less than an hour the leg was three
times its natural size and the clothing
had to be cut from Summers body.

who treated the injury, twice injected
into the wound either iodine or bromide
Of potassium. The poison of the viper
had entered Summers body and even
The doctor thought death would take
place within nine hours.
The chiefs and natives who were con-
suited by the doctor to see II they knew
of any native antidote said all persons
previously bitten had died in about an
hour. Summers was II days in the con-
sulate receiving the unremitting at
teniion of DR.. Thompson, and although
he was at times deliricas lie pulled
through. His recovery created great
