there is nothing truer than that say
ing, as far as my experiences go, for
a bad shot nearly ended my trek a
little while ago in the Lake country.
I was treking between Lake Albert
Edward N'Yanza and Lake Kivu, the
greatest stretch of hunting ground in
the world, with caravan of hun
dred men. We had marched steadily
through the early part of the day and,
now that the merciless white-hot sun
was directly overhead, | called halt.
Each member Of the caravan threw
himself down in the shade excepting
my shikaree Nick, a boy from the
other side of the continent, a native
of Senegal. He never rested, and as
he got a percentage OF the ivory we
secured, he never let the soleS OF his
feet grow soft for want OF exercise.
About an hour passed before Nick

something afoot. He walked straight

signaIed my gun bearer and struck
out, Nick leading.
If there are any elephants about at
midday, the hunter is pretty sure to
make a good bag, for at that time
they rest out of the direct rays Of
the sun, doing the hot hours away,
and are easily approached.

A Terrible Battle with Elephants.

After half an hours walk through
grass that was at least 20 feet high,
we came across herd of about
twenty elephants, among which there
were some fine bull tuskers. AS 1 ex-

the sun. They were difficult to get at

is sport, something to be played at;
hunting in Africa is trade, almost a
profession. In America one merely
takes rife and goes out to shoot. In
Africa, to hunt la mode, one takes
a battery of arms, usually three and
sometimes four, high power rifles Of
different caliber, ranging from a six
and five-tenths millimeter to a 600
cordite express. The cartridges for
these rifles are charged with vari-
Gus bullets, solid nickel, steel, soft
nose long, soft nose short and split
Each of these bullets was designed
by experts for a special use, and on
the way they are used depends the
success of ones shot. Often the use
of the unsuitable bullet ends in the
hunters death. On small game the
light caliber aruI. six five-tenths MILL
meter, is used, and on large and dan
gerous game the nine millimeter Maui
ser and 600 caliber cordite express
give the best results. The last-named
rifle strikes the enormous blow OF
$500 pounds, and has a recoil OF close
on a hundred weight. That the man
