forward, but recovering herself
caught sight of the man on the pony,
and before I could shoot again she
was half way towards him, going like
flash. He had not seen her when
l shot, as she was hidden by the
grass, and by the time he got his pony
turned around and started she was
close to him. He salloped straight
away from me, and l dare not fire at
the lioness for fear of hitting him.
For nearly 200 yards it looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the ponys tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and at length,
to my great relief, the pony began
to gain on her. She at once pulled up,
and turned into bush where she lay
down stretched out at full length,
painting. Running up. I shot her be-
fore she could prepare for another ef-
fort. My first bullet had gone through
the muscles of the forearm just below
the shoulder, and being solid had only
drilled quite a small hole. The ma
tives said that the reason she could
not catch the pony was because a lion
could not spring before a momentary
halt to crouch. If this is so, pony
could always get away from a lion
galoping straight behind it, unless the
pony was such bad one that the lion
could come alongside. On two or
three occasions l have been chased
myself In the open grass plain. but
have always got fair start, and my
pony has had no difficulty in keeping
out OF the lions way. A pony boy OF
mine was very nearly caught one day
in the open. He was trying to round

to 1t on tired pony. He only Just
got away. This same lion afterwards

angry. She had run into some long
grass, and had charged out towards
his men, when they were going up to
light 1t. He was very unwell with
fever at the time, and although he
had two or three shots, he was SO
shaky he could not hit her, and at
last felt SO Ill he had to give her up.
His shikari told me the lioness was
very much beat from being badgered
about in the sun and he was sure We
could find her. l owed her one for
frightening Hassan, SO we started at
once, Hassan not coming, but sending
a relation OF his on the same pony.
After short ride we got to the place
and found the tracks going into a
long strip of high feathery grass. We
cast all around and could find no
tracks coming out, SO decided to burn
the patch. 1t was about 200 yards
long and perhaps so broad. I could
not command the whole of 1t, SO l
told the men to light 1t at the top
and along one side. and Abdulla and
took up our station halfway down
the other side, about 80 yards out
from the edge. At the bottom end
put the warrior on the pony to see
IL the lioness broke that way. Al
most directly the grass was lit big
spotted hyena blundered out and came
within few yards Of us, but the
great part of the patch was burnt be-
fore there was any sign of the ioness.
Then I caught sight Of her sinking
along through the thin grass at the
edge of the strip going towards the
bottom end. She did not see US, as
we were rather behind her and stand
ing quite still.

Japanese Could Not Understand Their

An interesting article in the Wide
World Magazine is entitled 1.-TWO Girls
in Japan" by Irene Lyon. Here is Miss
Lyons account:
The bath itself-which looked like
large boX--was a wooden structure
built into a corner, and all round the
inside ran a convenient ledge for sit
ting on. The water being little short
of boiling, our movements were de-
cidedly cautious, and, curling ourselves
UP on the ledge, we tried to grow ac-
customed to the temperature by de-
grees before plunging right in. When.
thinking to remove the traces of our
journey by vigorous application of
soap, we began to scrub ourselves, 1t
suddenly occurred to us that such
proceeding was not etiquette out OF
consideration to the other bathers. So
we stepped out. soaped ourselves

wooden ladies' supplied for the pur-
pose, before getting back into the wa

had left it, in very bad way. but
Immediately proceeding to kill and cut
open the camels, he took the water out
of their stomachs and gave 1t to the
pony, which revived sufficiently to
struggle to the wells. After few
days rest it completely recovered.
Hassan added that he could very soon
get some more camels, and that he
would rather have cut the throats Of
a hundred than have lost his pony.
This story shows a great deal OF re-
source in a native, but the life So
mali leads makes him wonderfully
quick at finding way out Of fix Of
this kind. 1t was very lucky the pony
was not killed by lions or hyenas
while Hassan was away.
Just before Hassan's pony was near
ly caught by the lioness We had pony

escaping rather cleverly. At that time
we had two separate camps, six or
seven miles apart, each of them on the
edge Of the Marar Prairie, on ban
or open grass plain many miles in eX-
tent. This was the best place for
lions it has ever been my luck to come
across. Hardly day passed that
lions were not seen by one or the other

about walking through the bush in the
daytime. Between us we shot "a

were to be seen feeding in every direc-

were at him again directly he re-
treated to the bush. The little Mid
gan and one of my men were close
by, yelling with excitement. AS l
walked up to try to get a shot with
out hitting one of the pack, the lion
took no more notice of the dogs, but
kept his eyes fixed on me. l never
saw lion look nastier, but suppose
his broken shoulder had sickened him,
and shot him without difficulty. The
Midgan, after calling his dogs, had
run on after us, and had come on the
wounded lion. We skinned this beast,
and the little Midgan rather amused
us. as he got SO very much annoyed
because his dogs would not eat some
great chunks of raw lion-flesh he cut
off and offered them. We were on
our way to skin the other lion when
we met Hassan looking rather sorry
for himself He said that the lioness
had trotted quite quietly at first, and
he had brought her round in circle
towards the place where he had left
us, riding alongside of her, and shout
ing to let us know where he was.
Unluckily she crossed the track of
the wounded lion. and after smelling
at the blood she became perfectly un-
manageable, making off at gallop
and charging him whenever he got
in front to try to turn her. At last
she had gone into the thick bush on
some hills. where he had lost her.

the best l ever saw in Somaliland.
He would not put price on 1t. be-
cause he said he could make quite q
respectable income by making looting
expeditions on its back, as 1t was SO
fast nobody could catch it.
Killing CameIs to Save a Pony.
A year after this met Hassan
again, and asked him how his pony
was. He said it was very well, but
that he had very nearly lost it short
time before. He had been down in
the waterless plain on a looting ex-
pedition with some other Eidegalla
warriors. After successful raid they
split up to avoid pursuit, and Hassan
was on his way home driving some of
the looted camels in front of him. 1t
was a very dry year. and although 1t
was the rainy season, he had been
unable to find any water in pools to
give his pony. The result was that
having been ridden hard for two or
three days with little or no water to
drink, the pony got beat, and at last
lay down, about 20 miles from the
wells they were making for. No
amount of stick would get it on its
legs again, and Hassan was in de-
spair. He knew there were no vii
lagos at the wells where he could get
vessels in which to carry water back
to the pony, and 1t seemed as il moth
ng could be done to save 1t. At last
he thought of plan. Driving the
camels at top speed to the wells. he
gave them as much water as they
could drink, and hurried them back
again. He found the pony where he

yards towards US, as If trying to make
up his mind to charge. Whether he
would have done so or not 1 do not
know, as my second barrel caught him
on the point of the shoulder bringing
him on to his nose, and before he
could recover himself put in another
bullet from my second rifle and fin
ished him.
It is more than likely he would not
have charged, as l have several times
seen lion make this kind of demon
stration when slightly hit, more, 1
think, to try to frighten his assailant
than anything else. A lion that really

grappled lion which had knocked me
down, being severely mauled before
he got the brute off, so that natur-

him. Owing to his skill in tracking
I have only lost one wounded lion out
OF many that were hit, and that was
not his fault. as the blood stopped al
most directly and the ground was
nothing but stones for miles. This
speaks for itself, as any one who has

only once had the help of dogs
after wounded lions. We were camped
down in the Haud among the Eidegall
villages under Sultan Deria. One day
l went out to try to get some meat
for the natives, accompanied by a war
rior called Hassan and his pony. I
had Just shot an oryx, and we were
cutting 1t up. when the smallest So
mall have ever seen came running
up to say he had Just observed five
Lions asleep under tree close by.
This man belonged to the low-caste
tribe Of Midgans-people who do not
live together in one tribe. but are
scattered all over Somaliland in differ
ent villages, where they are chiefly
engaged in killing antelope for meat,
other Somalis, as a rule. thinking 1t
below their dignity to do anything but
go out occasionally on looting expedi-
tions. Midgans are armed with bows
and poisoned arrows, and each of
them carries knife. Until quite
lately no other Somali would use a
bow. but now it is quite a common
thing to meet a native belonging to
another tribe who has discarded his
spears for a bow and Quiver Of
poisoned arrows.
