and was determined to finish off his
task. AS soon as the reeds were
reached, the blood spoor was easily
to be followed. The heavy bullet had
evidently raked the lungs, the bull
was bleeding freely, and large patches
of crimson marked its path. The reeds
were very tall-twelve or fourteen
feet-and thick, and the spoorlng
seemed so dangerous an operation
that the Hottentot, who was carrying
second gun-a Martini Henry-fell
behind, leaving his master to take the
first risk with his heavy eight-bore.
At every step-they were Wadlng
knee deep il water-the hunters
stopped to listen. They had not pen
etrated fifty yards through the avenue
of broken reeds, afforded by the pass
age of the BULL when in an instant,
and without warning, the beast was
upon them The Boer was knocked
fiat upon his back by the charge; the
bull had miscalculated his distance,
had no doubt, charged for the sound,
and had struck his nemy with his
nose, which was held high, as is the
habit of these brutes when charging.
Galloping over the PROSTATE Boer, the
Buffalo went straight for the Hotten-
tot a few PAGES behind This unfor-
tunate the brute struck with his horn
and tossed on one side some yards
into the reeds. Then, continuing its
career, the bull passed on out of the
"vlei' and took shelter in some thin
bush, where it was afterward found
dead The Boer, all the wind knocked
out of him, and severely bruised,
picked himself up, retrieved his rifle,
which was flung yards away, and then
sought the Hottentot. The unfortunate
servant lay among the reeds and
water, a terrible wound gaping just
below his chest, to the left-breathing
his last. He lived only short time,
and died a pathetic and unwilling OBJ
iect lesson in the risks and dangers
of following wounded buffalo into
thick covert.

ton. In such instances it has usually
been found either that the animal
had been previously wounded by some
other hunter, or had been clawed by
a lion; in either case its naturally
morose temper having been rendered
yet more dangerous.
No hunter ought to attempt to tackle
a buffalo with a rifle of lighter calibre
tnan a 577 double express.
Once plentiful all over Southern At
RIGA wherever water was to be found,
the buffalo has now to be sought far
in the interior. There is one singular
exception to this statement. Many
years ago the Cape government
passed an act protecting under Sc
we're penalties the buffalo-as well as
the elephant-in Cape colony. In the
forest and densely pushed regions
bordering the coast line, some strong
troops of buffaloes are still to be
found between Mossel bay and the
Kowie river A few years ago, dur
ing a great drought. some of these
fine beasts were to be seen drinking
in the river within a few miles of the
town of Uitenhage These animals
can only be shot in Cape colony by a
special permit from the governor, and
on payment Of the sum &C ten pounds
for each specimen obtained. Beyond
Cape colony the sportsman has to
travel nowadays several hundred
miles before he can hope to find buff
falo. Perhaps the best country exist

rest of the day was spent in skinnins
and cutting UP the game. Part OF the
natives were sent back to the Boer
camp, laden with as much meat as
they could carry-the Beers requiring
not only fresh meat for immediate
use but enough to make supply OF
"biltong" (salted sun-dried f1esh); the
remainder of the flesh was bestowed
upon the native villagers who we're
With the expedition.
Large numbers of buffaloes We're
still reported little further ahead,
among the lagoons and marshes OF
this region, and the Dutch hunter,
therefore camped for the night, ate
hearty supper by the roaring fire, and
slept soundly till early dawn. Before
sun-up the party were again stirring
In less than two hours time the ma
tives had led the way to a broad
marshy lagoon, or "vlei," as the Beers
call it, surrounded by drier ground,
upon which grew bush, acacia trees,
and few tall palms. Part of this
lagoon was shallow open water, the
remainder consists of a dense bed OF
tall reeds, which led to further
swamps and lagoons beyond. The
sight that met the Dutchman's eyes,
as he and the natives crept cautiously
towards the edge of the ''vlei,' and sur
veyed the scene from behind screen
of bush, was a wonderful one. In and
about the "vlei," stood troop of not
less than two hundred buffaloes, some
rolling in the shallow, some drinking,
some standing belly-deep In water,
dark and motionless. The buffalo
birds "a species of starting Buphaya
Africana) those watchful allies or
these animals and rhinoceroses, were
flying hither and thither, many of
them packing and feeding on the ticks
and parasites which infest the buff
falo. A number of small white herons,
too, were about the ''vlei," some of
which were also to be seen actually
perching on the broad backs of the
great game. In any case the stalk re-
quied caution, and, with these watch
full "buffel-vogel" about, extreme care
was, as the Boer saw. essential. Con-
cealed behind thick mass of bush,
to which he and the Hottentot had
crept, the Dutchman waited patiently

hunter has no great difficulty in shoot
ing as many as he requires. In fairly
open country, where scattered covert
exists, and where they can be readily
approached-for they are by no means
keen-sighted creatures-a man may,
he begins to think, shoot butfaloes as
easily as he can shoot oxen But,
directly a buffalo is wounded and his
blood-spoor has to be taken up, and
the hunter has to follow him into the
dense coverts to which he retreats,
the business is entirely changed. Then
you may prepare to lo'k out for your
self, to take up your heaviest and
most reliable weapon, and to follow
the track of your game with every
sense alert, and your rifle handy for
an instant and most deadly charge.
You will find, too, that the native
spoorer, who trotted in front of you
readily enough on the blood spoor OF
elephant. and even lion, will now
greatly prefer to follow in your rear,
and leave you to take up your own
person the first and dangerous risk
in the dark and shadowy thickets into
which you are advancing. He knows
none better-the dark, evil fury
and the lurking, noiseless ways of the
beast of which you are in search.
The buffalo, so soon as he is wounded,
seems. indeed, to think of little else
than a bloody revenge. Mike most
other game, which, when wounded,
will almost invariably t"take item
selves in flight as far from the pur-
suer as possible, he usually retreats
some distance into the donsest bush,
and then either hides up in some
dark corner, where the shadows are
deep and dense, or, tJrning upon his
line, takes a parallel path back, and
so waits for his foe; or he will even
follow back upon his own spoor and
conceal himself. Sometimes he will
stand lurking amid the dark thickets;
at another time, if badly wounded,
he will lie down. in either case pre-
pared and determined to infiict a
bloody revenge for the hurts under
which he is smarting. Year after

animals than by an adventure mar
rated to me not long since in the hunt
ing veldt by a Boer hunter from the
Transvaal He had been tracking
with some other compatriots far to
the northwest of Lake Ngami. Flesh
was badly wanted in camp, and as
tsetse fly was prevalent in the
marshy country, north of the Okanan-
go river, on which they were out
spanned, and the natives reported
large herds of buffaloes, he left ms
horses behind him, ferrieI across the
river, and spent the next two days in
hunting. He had with him his own
Hottentot servant, a good and reliable
hunter. and a fair shot, and he had
as well several natives of the district
who were anxious for meat, and ready
to show him the game.
