CHAPTER II.
A MORNINGS SPORT.

Moving some five or six miles round
the base Of the great peak of which
have spoken, we came the same day to
one of the fafrest bits Of African
country that l have seen outside OF
Kukuanaland.
At this spot the mountain spur that
runs out at right angles to the great
range, which stretches its mighty
cloud-clad length north and south far
as the eye can reach, sweeps inward
with vast and splendid curve.
This curve measures some five and
thirty miles from point to point, and
across Its moon-lke segment the river
flashed, a silver line of light.
On the farther side of the river is
q measureless sea of swelling ground,
a mighty natural park covered with
great patches of bush. some of them
being many square miles in extent
which are separated one from another
by glades of grass land, broken here
and there with clumps of tember trees,
and in some instances by curious iso.
lated koppies, and even by single
crags Of granite, that start up into the
air as though they were monuments
carved by man. and not tombstones set
by nature over the grave of ages gone.
On the west this beautiful plain is
bordered by the lonely mountain, from
the edge of which 1t rolls down toward
the fevcrish coast, but how far it runs
to the north l cannot say-eight days
journey, according to the natives, when
it is lost in the measureless swamp.
On the hithcr side of the river the
scenery is different.
Along the edge of its banks, where
the land is fiat. are green patches Of
swamp.
Then comes a wide belt of beautiful
grass land. covered thick with game.
and sloplng up very gently to the bor-
Gers of the forest, which. beginning at
about thousand feet above the level
of the plain, clothes the mountain side
almost to It's crest.
In this forest grow great trees, most
of them of the yellow wood species.

n bird in their top branches would be
out of range of an ordinary shotgun.
Another peculiar thing about them is
that they are, for the most part, COW
cred with dense growth Of the ochella
moss.
Out of this moss the natives manu-
facture a most excellent deep purple
dye, with which they stain tanned
hides, and also cloth when they happen
to get any of the latter.
do not think ever saw anything
more remarkable than the appearance
of one of these mighty trees festooned
from top to bottom with trailing
wreaths of the sad-hued moss, in which
the wind whispers gently as 1t stirs
them. ----
At O distance 1t looks like the gray
locks Of Titan crowned with bright
green leaves. and here and there
starred with the rich bloom of orchids.
The night Of that day when l had
my little difference of opinion with
GObo we camped upon the edge Of
this great forest, and on the following
morning at daylight I started out
shooting.
AS we were short of meat deter
mined to kill a buffalo, Of which there
were plenty about before looking for
traces Of elephants.
Not more than half q mile from camp

this, the stadium and the ground on

tickets will range from $3.50 to S25
