day from Humuula Sheep Station.

Our trip was a continuous series OF

we had was that of roping wild cattle

boys scattered out so as to more easily
scare up the game. We were high up
In a belt of fog and II was impossible
to see very far ahead. Suddenly Eben
Lows lynx.like eyes caught sight OF
an enormous wild bull, and without
barley he started after him. There
was only one thing for me to do unless
cared to chance being lost on the
mountain, and that was to gallop with
| the others over the rough lava, up hill
and down. over boulders and fallen
trees, across numerous holes and chance
breaking my neck. Gartley, who was
well mounted and Immediately behind
Eben Low, didn't even hesitate but
J plunged eagerly to the chase. A wild
bull can do some running and II was

up and then 1t was just as we emerged

place for a throw and Low whirled his
rope, but unfortunately, missed. Alon.

lariat, twirled II over his head with
the skill of an expert and making the

air and landed fairly over the bulls
horns Coming up so rapidly from be-
hind, Gartley's horse went by the cap
tured animal like a shot, and the raw
hide, catching the bull from behind
around both tanks, threw him into

happened. Eben Low hastily dismount-
ed and tied the enraged bulls hind feet
while Gartley's horse held II down with
@ taut rope. A wild bull is no docile
| pet even after he is ropsd and tied, so
Low pulled his cowboy saw from his
boot leg and took of the sharp points
of the. horns to minimize the danger in
case the bovine should make good one
of his charges after rising to his feet.
After this was accomplished, which
was more quickly than II can be told,

Gartley didn't undertake to explain

beast by one horn with his right hand
and as II rose he yaulted on to its back
as his only preservation. Just then
Archie Kaaua appeared on the scene
and taking in the situation at glance,
threw his rope over the steers head.
Another cowboy threw from the oppo-
site side and between the two they had
the beast at their mercy. Seeing the
danger past and the situation being so
ludricrous, Gartley snapped a picture
of Eben Low hanging ON to the steers
neck for dear life. before he could dis
mount from his preyarlous position.
Eben didn't relish his steer ride nor
does he like to discuss il, and his
friends in town are advised not to men

After roping cattle the next thing
rs to lead them down onto the plains
and that is no child's play. Two of the
cowboys get the rope on steer and one
leads while the other holds back. The
steer constantly charges to rid himself
of his captors and 1t requires a great
deal OF strength and judgment to man
