to follow it. At that time none of us
knew much about tracking, and we
had had such bad luck after the ele-
plants that We did not think much
of our shikaries, and did not think
it was much good, Abdullah persuaded
me and I went. After we nal followed
the track for some distance I quite
caught his enthusiasm, and when the
single track was Joined by three 9TH
ers. was divided between delight at
the prospect of having four lions all
to myself and the thought that per-
haps had more on my hands than I
could manage alone.
After a track of about an hour We
came in sight of two or three big
th1ckets of "irgin" bushes surrounded
by open mimosa scrub ana intersected
by narrow paths. My second shikari
at that time was a very tall fellow,
called jana, with enormous feet. Sew
eral times during the track Abdullah
had turned round to pitch into him for
making such noise, a1d now he con-
f1ded to me that Jana walk all same
WV oAO IudL We udQ UclIor leave
him behind here with the pony and
boy, as the lions were sure to be in
the place in front of us. Knowing
nothing about it, I agreed and went
on with Abdullah. We were walking
quietly along the outside of one of the
thickets when Abdullah suddenly
clutched me by the arm and pointed
towards tree standing on the edge
OF the bush yards of. The tree was
divided into two towards the bottom.
and the sun was throwing the shadow
of bush on the ground inside tho
hollow.
This was where Abdullah was point

the shadow and slipped away on the
far side. fired from the hip, letting
of both barrels into the tree. We
rushed round to the other side of the
thicket just in time to see a fine
lioness come out. I could not get a
clear shot at once, and when l did,
after running some distance, 1 was
shaking so that L could not get on her
at all, and missed. She kept lobbing
along just ahead, every now and then
stopping to look around and show her
teeth at us. Each time she stopped

hill again; but here, 700, we were dis
appointed, and gravitated back to
where We had first lost the spoor. We
knew that the lion had not gone
straight on, nor had he turned back:
he must have gone along the top of
the ridge and then crossed into other
stony hills where is was hopeless to
try to track him.
Abdullah, who is never defeated.
said there was big river-bed further
on in the direction in which the lion
was going. It seemed very slender
chance, as he might have turned of
anywhere in between, but it was the
only one, so off we went. We were
evidently in luck that day, for we had
only gone about a quarter of a mile
when We struck the spoor. The lion
seemed now to have made up his
mind as to his direction, for he kept
on straight down the middle of the
river-bed. The sun had come out from
behind the clouds, and in places the
sand was very deep, so that we were
not sorry when at last the track led
into a little island of bush in the
great fiat sand. There was no doubt
the lion was at home, for on casting
round no sign was perceptible of a
track coming out. The island, raised
little above the river-bed, was
formed of a mass of thick-tangled
bush and creepers clustered round a
few big trees. The water coming down
the rive. after heavy rain had washed
it roughly into the form of a triangle,
the apex of which pointed up the
river. From this point the sides
widened out to the other end, which
was about thirty yards broad, the
whole length being somewhat under
a hundred yards.
The Virginia enterprise., 1909-06-25

point one could easily command the
whole of it. The lion was almost GER
tain to break out of one of the sides
towards the bush on the banks of the
river-bed, in which case l should get
an easy broadside shot. If we fol-
lowed the track into the place, the
noise we were sure to make would be
very likely to get the beast on his
legs, and he would sneak out at one
side as we went in at the other, es.
pecially as the water had left lot of
dead sticks along the edges, over
which it would be impossible to walk
quietly. Abdullah also said that from
the way he had wandered about this
lion must be very hungry, and would
sleep lightly. These considerations
decided us to drive. posted myself
with Abdullah a few yards out from
the point, and the other two men, hav-
ing collected some stones, began throw.
ing them in at the far end. Abdullah
was right about this lion sleeping
lightly; for at the first stone there
was growl and crash in the bushes
and then, for minute or two, not a
sound. The men started to walk down,
one on each side, shooting and throw.
ing in stones. was watching them, and
wondering what had happened to the
lion, when there was a faint cracking
just in front of us, and he appeared at
the point of the island. Although we
were standing within a few yards of
him, and absolutely in the open, he
did not see us.
He was facing straight towards us,
and was so close that l did not like
to fire at him as, on receiving the bull
let, he would be very likely to plunge
in the direction he was going and be
into us; nor did l want him to come
any closer; so, as he stepped down on
to the sand, moved my rifle up
towards my shoulder to attract his at.
tention. He saw the movement at
once, stopped dead, and turned his
head sharply towards us. For the
fraction of second thought he was
going to be startled into charging,
but he plunged of to the left with an
| angry snarl at us over his shoulder.
AS he passed pulled, and he skated
along on his stomach and fell down q

him round, and he lay facing u.s.
