and was determined to finish off his
task. AS soon as the reeds were
reached, the blood spoor was easily
to be followed. The heavy bullet had
evidently raked the lungs, the bull
was bleeding freely, and large patches
of crimson marked its path. The reeds
were very tall--twelve or fourteen
feet-and thick, and the spooring
seemed so dangerous an operation
that the Hottentot, who was carrying
a second gun-a Martini Henry-fell
behind, leaving his master to take the
first risk with his heavy elghtbore.
At every step-they were wading
knee deep t. water-the hunters
stopped to listen. They had not pen
etrated fifty yards through the avenue
of broken reeds, afforded by the pass
age of the bull, when in an instant,
and without warning, the beast was
upon them. The Boer was knocked
fiat upon his back by the charge; the
bull had miscalculated his distance,
had no doubt, charged for the sound,
and had struck his nemy with his
nose, which was held high, as is the
habit of these brutes when charging.
Galloping over the PROSTATE Boer the
Buffalo went straight for the Hotten-
tot a few PAGES behind. This unfor-
tunate the brute struck with his horn
and tossed on one side some yards
into the reeds. Then, continuing its
career, the bull passed on out of the
'vlei' and took shelter in some thin
bush. where 1t was afterward found
dead. The Boer. all the wind knocked
out of him, and severely bruised,
picked himself up. retrieved his rifle,
which was flung yards away, and then
sought the Hottentot. The unfortunate
servant lay among the reeds and
water, terrible wound gaping just
below his chest. to the left-breathing
his last. He lived only short time,
and died a pathetic and unwilling OBJ
ject lesson in the risks and dangers
of following a wounded buffalo into
thick covert.
