The next day We continued our
march. We had not gone far when
a native brought in news of a fresh
rhino spoor. l at once set out in
search of the game. We were not
ten minutes on the hunt when I
smelled the peculiar odor of the rhino,
which sometimes is very strong. I
was down the wind-that is, the wind
was blowing toward me from the
rhino-so I was sure of getting
pretty good shot. A few minutes
later I saw long horn sticking
through the high grass. It was mo-
tionless. The animal was waiting
for us to pass. I took a chance aim
and fired, hoping to hit a vital spot.
My calculation was bad and the rhino
scampered of at gallop. I stood
there cursing my luck when a grunt
behind me nearly scared me out of
my wits. I took no chances, but
turned and ran. I hadn't gone 20
yards when I bumped on something
in the grass and down I went. I
grabbed my rifle and made for the

The most dangerous hunting occurs
