This lion was quite maneless, ex'
cent for few long hairs on each side

down quite short. so he was evidently
very old. He was in very good condi

was quite empty, which accounted for
his going so far before lying up. We

We had shot or two at the sound,
and the beasts, whatever they were,
went away. AS at that time we knew
nothing about lions, We were not
quite sure that they were not hyenas
after all; but Abdullah stuck to 1t
they were lions, SO We got our beds
and lay down one on each side of the
opening, just behind the fence to
watch, hoping that the brutes would
come back. Nothing furtE"r happened,
however. At daybreak We sailed out
to see If by any chance we had man
aged to hit lion, but We only found
two or three dead hyenas. One OF
these brutes had been partly eaten;
we thought at the time by other hy-
enas, as it was still too dark to make
out tracks. We came to the conclu-
sion we had made idiots CT ourselves,
and had been shooting all night at
hyenas, and we did not feel any the
, better when our friends came back
from their night at the village and
told us we had probably frightened
every lion out of the country by oul

PeriIs of the Man Eater.

My first experience in tracking lions
was early in 1892, and the night be-
fore was rather IN exciting one. After
hunting elephants unsuccessfully for
about month, we were on our way
south, when we arrived one day at
some villages where the natives had
been very much bothered by five lions
which were said to be still in the
neighborhood. A girl had been killed
two days before, and an enormous
amount of damage had Teen done
among the sheep and cattle. The first
day we camped there two of our party
had shooting zerebas made at the vii.

came, and just before sunset they
went off there.
tied up our two donkeys just out
side the camp, on the chance that the
lions might come and look us up. Just

hill again; but here, 100. 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. 1t 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 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
riyer-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 castlle
round no sign was perceptible OF a
track coming out. The island, raised
little above the riyer-bed. was
formed of mass Of thick-tanglet
bush and creepers clustered round
few big trees. The water coming doWr

two different methods of hunting lions.
One of them could hardly be called
method at all, as it depended on
news brought in by natives as to
where lion had actually been seen.
The second plan consisted of tying
up donkey for bait, and sitting up
to watch at night. A much more in
teresting way of hunting lions than
either of these and a very success
full one II the native shikaries en-
ployed are any good, is this process
of tracking them. A lion lies up in
some cool, shady place for the day,
unless the sky Is overcast and the
sun cannot get out, when he will oc-
casionally be found hunting at any
hour. If you can strike his spoor of
the night before there is very good
chance of following it up to where
the lion lies, should the ground be
suitable. There Is no form of hunt
ing so exciting as this. When the
spoor is found there is generally
nothing to show If you have struck
it early or late in the lions wander
ings, SO that it is quite chance
whether it leads you for hours over al
sorts of country, or whether, after hal
a mile down on sandy river bed OF
path, it turns off into a thick patel
of reeds or bush close by, where tn,
lion is lying. 1t is extraordinary hov
the excitement grows as time goes on

times very slowly, where only nov

stones, at other times as fast as yo,

Reading the Lion Tracks.

Abdullah IT'LL insisted that there
had been lions round the camp, and
little later we found the spoor Of
one big lion by the body OF the half
eaten hyena. The ground was very
stony and there were TO other tracks
to be seen, but one lion could hardly
have dragged the donkey and heavy
barrel away so quickly so there were
probably more. The other hunters
had got hold of a man at the village
who said he knew where the lions
ALWAYS lay, so they went with aim.
Soon after they left, Abdullah, who
had been hunting about, came and
told me that he had picked "p the

side. and it was evident that some
thing was attacking our donkeys. 1t
was pitch dark and we fired several
shots in the direction of the sound
before we discovered that the attack
ing beasts were hyenas. We did not
mind having a donkey killed lnstan-
taneously by lion, but we mad not
bargained for the poor beasts getting
mauled by hyenas, so taking lamp
we went out to see what had hap
pened. My donkey had got off with
a nasty bite in the hollow OF the nina
leg above the hook, and we had MIN
taken into the camp at once. Inc
other was completely disembowelled
and must have been killed instantly.
We could not find any dead hyenas,
but we were pretty sure that on' or
two must nave been hit. Seeing that

to follow it. At that tine 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 | went. After we n&l followed
the track for some distance | 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 l had more on my hands than |
could manage alone.
After track of about an hour we
came in sight of two or three big
thickets of ''irgin" bushes surrounded
by open mimosa scrub ana lntersected
by narrow paths. My second shikari
at that time was 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, AID now he con-
fided to me that jana walk all same

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, l agreed and went
on with Abdullah. We were walking
quietly along the outside Of one Of the
| thickets when Abduliah suddenly
clutched me by the arm and pointed
towards tree standing on the edge
of the bush yards off. The tree was
divided into two towards the bottom
| and the sun was throwing the shadow
of bush on the ground inside the

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. II we 1oi-
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

the point. and the other two men, nav
