Pa had the gas bag all full. q mile
across the marsh, tied to tree with
slip moose, SO when we all got set
he could pull a string and unite the

Well, everything worked bully, and
when Pa tied her loose we went up
into the air about so feet, and Pa
steered the thing up and down the
marsh like q pointer dog ranging a
field for chickens.
1t was the greatest sight I ever
witnessed, seeing more than 200 buff
falo heads raise up out of the tall
grass and watch the airship, looking
as savage as lions eating raw meat.
First they never moved at all. but
we began to blow the honk horns. and
then we yelled through the mega
phones to get out Of there. you sawed

to move away from the airship across
the marsh. and we followed until they
began to get into herd, nearly on
the other side Of the marsh, but they
only walked fast, splashing through
the mud.
When we got almost across the
marsh Pa said now was the time to
fire the Roman candles, so we each
lit our candle, and the fire and smoke
and the fire balls fairly scorched the
hair Of the buffalos in the rear of the
herd, and in jiffy the whole herd
stampeded out of the marsh right to-
ward the fence. believing in African
language, scared half to death, the
first instance on record that an AZ

let up until you had them under your
control. So we started out under Pas
lead to capture African buffalo, and
while the returns are not all in Of the
dead and wounded, we know that our
expedition is pretty near used up.
The African buffalos live in marsh,
where the grass and cane grow high
above them, and the only way you
can tell where they are Is to watch the
birds flying around and alighting on
the backs of the animals to eat wood
ticks and gnats. The marsh Is 80

airship on the windward side of the
marsh, after lining up the whole force

and building corral Of timber on the
lee SIDE Of the marsh. Pa and the
cowboy and went in the airship, with
these honk-honk horns they have on
automobiles, and these megaphones
that are used at football games. and
Pa had bunch of Roman candles to
scare the buffalos.
