CLEANED for this brief record OF his
rarty's doings.
The rhino capture was of most ex-
citing description. Sure enough they
landed his corpulent lordship; but
he got away in the night. after being
tied up. One of the most exciting
achievements was an encounter with

But the piece de resisting (very
opplicable) was the lassooing of a
lioness. Her ladyship was discover
