the corral, the others going around
the fence and chasing the keepers into
the jungle and hooking the negroes in
the pants, and some of the negroes are
running yet and win no doubt come
out at Cairo, Egypt.
Mr.. Hagenbach and the white men
got up in trees. and watched Pa and
the airship, and when we got where
the fence narrowed up at the corral
Pa let the airship come down to the
ground, and anchored 1t to a stump
and yelled for the boss of the expedi-
tion and the men to come down out
Of the trees and help capture some of
the best specimens. so they came
down and tore out the wings of the
fence and placed them across so we had
the buffalos in pen. and then Mr.
Hagenbach, who had been getting
little jealous of Pa, came up to him
and shook his hand and told him he
was a wonder in the capturing of wild
animals, and Pa said don't mention
it, and Pa took the makings and made
himself a cigarette and smoked up, and
Mr.. Hagenbach asked Pa how we were
going to get the buffalos out of the cor
raj, cause they were fighting each
other in the far end of the pen, and
Pa said you just wait, and he sent

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 a 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 so
thick with weeds that a man cannot
go into it, so we planned to start the
airship on the windward side of the
marsh, after lining up the whole force
Of helpers, negroes and white men,
and building a 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.
When the fence was done, which so
men had worked on for week, it run
in the shape Of a triangle. or a fish
net, with a big corral at the middle.

ASSISTS AT A BUFFALO HUNT

wanted, thought OF the pictures I had

than a yoke OF oxen, pick out big
bull and ride long side Of him and
fire bullets into his vital parts at about
ten feet range, until his liver was
filled full of holes. and he had the
nose bleed, and when he fell down
from loss of blood, dismount and skin
him for a lap robe. The American buf-
falo would always run away and the
hunter could XIII him II he had cart

more danger than a farmer milking a

! thought we would have about the
same kind of experience with African
buffalo. only we intended to lasso
them, and bring them to camp alive
for the show business. but instead Of
the African buffalo running away from
you, he runs at you on sight. and tries
TO gouge out your inside works with
his horns. and paws you with his
hoofs. and when he gets you down
he kneels down on you, and runs horns
all through your system, and rolls over

The African buffalo has crouch,
