Reading the Lion Tracks.

Abdullah eth insisted that there
had. been lions round the camp, and
a 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 no 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 man at the village
who said he knew where the Hons
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 up the
track OF one lion on soft ground a lit
tie way from camp. and tina. we ought
to follow il. 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 shikar.es. and | did not think
il was much good. Abdullah persuaded
me and went. After we mad followed

PerilS of the Man Eater.

My first experience in tracking lions
was early In 1892. and the night be-
fore was rather an exciting one. After
hunting elephants unsuccessfully for
about q month, we were on our way
south, when we arrived one day at
some villages where the natives had
been very much bothered by Ave 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 been done
among the sheep and cattle. The first
day we camped there two of our party
had shooting zerebas made at the vii
page to which the lions generally
came, and just before sunset they
went on there.
tied UP our two donkeys just out
side the camp, on the chance that the
lions might come and look US up. Just
after dark We were having dinner in
the tent when there was a scuffie out
side. and il was evident that some
thing was attacking our donkeys. IL
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 instan-
taneously by lion, but we had not
bargained for the poor beasts getting
mauled by hyenas. SO taking a lamp
we went out to see what had hap
pened. My donkey had got OF with
a nasty bite In the hollow of the hind

taken into the camp at once. The

mind as to his direction. for he kept
Oh straight down the middle of the
river-bed. The sun had come out from
behiad 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

formed Of a mass of thick-tangled
bush and creepers clustered round a
