which the village had suffered and
the three muskets in his army were of
no avail especially as none of the Of
ficers in command could be induced
to get near enough to the bold beasts
to risk a shot.
About the second hour of darkness
the cattle in the village became very
restless. The wind was from the
south and as the half full moon was SO
bright that any skulking animal near
the village would have been noticed,
Drayton and / agreed that the lion was
in a little cope of rocks about naf
mile up the wind. We baG not had
time before dark to examine any OF
the old spoor and knowing merely
that there was at least lioness with
cubs among the lot, we set out in
stead of waiting until they approached
the stream. Drayton carried special
$3.50 Winchester and l Parker ten
gauge, which I had loaded with special
shells of dense powder and buckshot
set in wax.
When within so yards of the koppe
splendid animal form rose out Of
the rocks and stood facing us his fore
paws on huge boulder. We vera
hidden by the clumps of brush through
which we had been working and la
did not see us. Slowly and majestic
ally he surveyed the little plain thejA.
thrusting out his ponderous jaw "
tered a roar that went laundering
down the reaches of moonlit silence,
1t was with difficulty that could re-
strain Drayton from risking shot
from where We stood. The lion held
his pose and ducking under cover of
the brush and treading softly on the
sand we hurried forward to the first
ridge of rocks. To pass these, we
must attract his notice to a certainty
so Drayton dropped on one kne, while
with every nerve tingling and my eyes
and ears astrain to catch any sign of
his mate, who might be just beyond
the ridge for all we knew, waited for
Drayton's shot. He chose the chest
and the crash of the Winchester went
echoing among the rocks. The mag
nifcent beast leaped ten feet in the
air, then came rolling, tumbling, claw
ing down our side of the Hoppe d.
rectly toward us. His wounded roSr
was answered from other directions.
There were two other lions on TIE
other side of the Hoppe and one ii
the rocks and brush not 20 yards frozn
us to the right. But we had not time
to think of them. The wounded lion
got to his feet with incredible energy
and quickness. AS he leaped, with
another roar 1 poured both barrels of
my Parker into his body. That was
enough. He landed in commissions
and it was fortunate that he had
enough. There was a crash in the

to mortal end under the paws
of a Nubian lion. 1t would be
the irony of fate, but that is what
nearly happened to me some years
ago. With perils innumerable behind
us the two white men of the party,
one a gold-seeker the other a pure
adventurer of the type of Tanner,
nearly came to an end.
We frequently left the river and
navigable tributaries which we were
working out slowly, to explore the ra-
vines for high bars, never taking with
us more than four bearers, though at
times we were absent from the main
party outfit for a fortnight, knowing
it was entirely safe in the care of a
thin cross-eyed Arabian ex-chasseur
who was born voyageur with tinge
of Napoleon and the Devil and Uncle
Tom in him. He was true as salt

men with whom would as soon face
danger and difficulty as with any

One night we were about to make
camp when We encountered party Of
women and girls bearing water jars
and they told us of village a mile
further on. Before we reached the
village we were met by the chief and
his induanas who begged us to make
stay with them as they were seri-
ously troubled with lions. Two of the
chiefs horses and two of his wives
had been killed among the losses

0utWitted by the Jungle King

We halted on the river bank during
the intense heat of the day, and be-
fore resuming our march in the even
ing we sailed out once more to search
the river-bed and an islet grown with
bushes, where We hoped he might be-
And while we searched the hussar,
who had been assigned to me to hold
my horse, and who was the man who,
in the morning, had been posted to
watch the river-bed, asked: How
many lions are there supposed to be
here?" l told him "Only the one we
fired at this morning"
Whereupon he grimly said, ooh, I
saw him go away up the river when
you went down it. He was a dragging
his headquarters after him."
1t appeared that the man thought
he had been posted to guard against
surprise by an enemy, and did not
realize that we, being down among
the rocks, could not see the lion which
was SO visible from his lookout place.
And so we lost that. lion.
But l had better luck another time.
1t stands thus recorded in my diary:
10th October.-(To be marked with

companied me scouting this morning;
we three started off at 8 a. m. In
moving round the hill that overlooks
our camp we saw match struck high
up near the top of the mountain.
This one little spark told us good
deal. 1t showed that the enemy were
there; that they were awake and alert
q say they, because one niger
would not dare to be up there by
himself in the dark; and they were
aware of our force being at Posselt's

limbs, the patrol, remembering the

changed the course of their advance
and took another line.
One time, when 1 was patrolling
the bank of the Shangani river with
three men, the massive form of
lion was seen slowly moving over the
boulders of the river-bed. The cor
poral and / jumped off our horses in
a moment, and fired volley deuX,
at about 100 yards. One shot thudded
into him, the other striking the
ground just under his belly. He
sprang with a light bound over a
rock and disappeared from our view.
Posting one man on high point on
the bank to watch the river-bed
and leaving the other in charge of
our horses, the corporal and I made
our way down to where we had last
seen the lion. We were armed with
Lee-Metford carbines and we turned
on our magazines in order to have
good running fire available should our
quarry demand it.
Meantime our main body, coming
along the opposite bank of the river,
had seen our maneuver, and an off,
Ger and one man had come down into
the riverbed from their side to help us.
Gradually and cautiously we sur
rounded the spot where we guessed
the lion to be-cautieusly, at least,
as far as three of us were concerned;
the fourth, the man who had come
from the main body, was moving in
far freer and more confident manner
than any of us could boast; he clam
bered over the rocks and sprang with
agility into the most likely corners
for finding a wounded lion lying am
pushed, and his sole weapon was his
revolver-for he was a farrier. Such
is Tommy Atkins whether it is the
outcome of sheer pluck, or of ignor-
ance, or of both combined, the fact
remains that he will sail gayly in
where danger lies, and as often as not
sail gayly out again unframed.
However, to continue; at last we

cupying this hilD.
However, they could not see any
thing of us, as it was then quite dark
And we went farther on among the
mountains. In the early morning
light we crossed the deep river-bed
of the Umchingwe River, and, in do
ing so, noticed the fresh spoor of a
lion in the sand. We went on and had
good look at the enemy's stronghold;
and on our way back, as we ap-
preached this river-bed, agreed to go
quietly, in case the lion should be
moving about in it. On looking down
over the bank, my heart jumped into
my mouth when l saw grand old
brute just walking in behind bush.
Jackson did not see him, but was off
his horse as quickly as l was, and
ready with his gun: too ready, indeed,
walking majestically out from behind
the bush that had hidden him, Jack
son fired hurriedly, striking the ground
under his foot, and, as we afterwards
discovered, knocking off one of his
claws.
"The lion tossed up his shaggy head
and looked at us in dignified surprise.
Then fired and hit him with leaden
bullet from the Lee-Metford. He
reeled, sprang round, and staggered
a few PAGES, when Jackson, who was
using Martini-Henry, let him have
one in the shoulder. This knocked
him over sideways, and he turned
about, growing savagely.
81 could scarcely believe that we
had got a lion at last, but resolved
to make sure of it; so, telling Jackson
not to fire unless it was necessary
(for fear of spelling the skin with the
larger bullet of the Martini), I went
down closer to the beast and fired
shot at the back of his neck as he
turned his head momentarily away
from me. The bullet went through
his spine and came out through the
lower jaw, killing him.
1--WE were pretty delighted at our
success, but our niger was mad with
happiness, for a dead lion-provided
he is not a man-eater-has many in
valuable gifts for Kaffir, in the shape
of love-philtres, charms against dis
ease or injury, and medicines that
produce bravery. 1t was quite de-
lightful to shake hands with the
mighty paws of the dead lion, to pull
at his magnificent tawny name, and
to look into his great deep, yellow
eyes. Then we set to work to skin
him; two of us skinning while the
other kept watch in case of the enemy
sneaking up to catch us while we were
thus occupied. We found that he was
fat, and also that he had been much
wounded by porcupines, portions of
whose quilts had pierced the skin, and
lodged in his flesh in several places.
Our niger cut out the eyes, gall-blad-
der, and various bits of the lions
anatomy, as fetch medicine. I filled
my carbine-bucket with some of the
fat, as l knew my two boys Diamond
and Mtini, would very greatly value
it. Then, after hiding the head in
neighboring bush where we could find
it again, we packed the skin on to
one of the sponies and returned to
camp nightly pleased with our
selves"

THE LION TOSSED UP HIS SHAGGY HEAD.

to tell of facing lions with a small
caliber military rife, an adventure to
thrill army sportsman.
In the first place, scouting played a
very prominent part in the prelimin-
aries to major operations.
This scouting, to be successful, ne
cessitated ones going with the very
slenderest escort-frequently with
one man only, to look after the horses,
and for long distances away from our
main body, into the districts occupied
by the enemy and by big game. Thus,
one was thrown entirely on ones own
resources, with the stimulating knowl-
edge that if he did not maintain suf-
f1cient alertness of observation and
action, he stood a very good chance,
indeed, not only of failing to gain in
formation which you were desired to
seek, but also of getting himself wiped
out, and left in stress on the veldt.
"Spooring," or tracking, was our
main source Of guidance and informa-
ton and night the cover under which
we were able to make our way about
the enemy's country with impunity.
The pleasures of the pursuit of
game were all the more enhanced by
the knowledge that the meat was
really necessary to us, and especially
by the fact that we often carried out
our sport at the risk of being our
selves the quarry of some sneaking
band of rebel warriors.

any one who entered its hiding place.
We made visit to 1t.
Cali round were sticks stuck in the
ground supporting skulls, eggs and
bones, while blood was splashed over
the walls; on the right of the entrance
was a large basin of water about 1S
inches deep, hewn out of the rock, in
which water trickled through from the
roof, and in which a few fish glided
about.
