Immediately proceeding to kill and cut
open the camels, he took the water out
of their stomachs and gave it 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

Just before Hassan's pony was near,

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

tent. This was the best place for
lions 1t has ever been my luck to come

more game than have ever seen any

were good many ostriches and few

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 galloped straight
away from me, and / dare not fire at
the. liopess 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 a bush where she lay
down stretched out at full length,

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 small hole. The ma
tives said that the reason she could
not catch the pony was because lion
could not spring before momentary
halt to crouch. If this is so, pony
could always get away from lion
galloping straight behind 1t, unless the
pony was such bad one that the lion
could come alongside. On two or
three occasions ! have been chased

out of the lions way. A pony boy OF
mine was very nearly caught one day
in the open. He was trying to round
up lion, and got rather too close
to 1t on a tired pony. He only just
got away. This same lion afterwards
chased me and two or three of my
men for quite long time. Unless O

nothing to be feared from lion in

inside ran convenient ledge for sit

soap, we began to scrub ourselves, 1t

proceeding was not etiquette" out of
consideration to the other bathers. So
we stepped out, soaped ourselves
well, and rinsed our bodies with the
wooden ladies supplied for the pur-
pose, before getting back into the wa

We were sitting on the ledge, chat
