extract from the diary of n young Eng
lishmRn who II at present serving his
country In northern Nigeria:
II had just topped n long incline and
was walking my pony. when. on coming
around "A corner OF the road. hidden by
Eome trees. l saw. seventy yards I'm

open patch OF burned grass. n magnin-
cent full-grown lion. TIL sun was not
strong. and he was very. very lazily
iIcking his tail from side TO side. He
had n short name. and his Eyes were n
lovely amber red In the wenk sunlight.
My first sensation was n OF astonish-
ment. profound amazement n delight
at seeing such n fine beast. He was
n beauty, and IL seemed impossible TO
realize that he was really Wild as he
lay on his side. looking at me with his
head raised as n dog does when he
hears his masters footstep. He was
fat ms butter, sleek-coated and glossy.
MY pony. as the breeze was coming
from the other direction, did not wind
him. and went steadily on without Ms
much as pricEiyg up his ears. My dog
was walking on In front about ten
yards. and. luckily, did not notice him.
IL was not until I was actually passing
him. which I did within twenty yards.
that / realized that II the lion took II
into his head TO fancy a bit OF white
man / should be unable TO dispute his
right. After I had proceeded some l50
yards the lion got up leisurely n fol-
lowed along the road behind me-. but
after going about 100 yards he turned
into the bush At tho side OF the road"
