There have been queer stories OF a
variety of gigantic white rhinoceroses
as large as elephants, few OF which
remained when white men first en-
tered the Nyanza country. but there
are no authentic stories to set down
hunter named Armbruster had an
unfortunate encounter with white
bull which all who saw II agreed must
have been a giant OF It's kind. His
wagon had just reached the last rise
to the top of a low hill when a man
in advance came running back making
the finger signs OF bull maroho.
Creeping up to the crest OF a hill,
Armbruster saw in a glade below one
of the finest specimens he had ever
beheld, and Immediately set out to
stalk him on foot.
The rhinoceros was feeding quietly
and the wind was favorable for di.
rect approach. However. before he
had got near enough having TO make
his way through thorns, he lost sight
of the quarry, which had entered the
brush inclosing the glade. The hunter
made the mistake of judging the loca.
ton of the creature by movement in
the brush A young COW rhinoceros
was feeding there and not the bull.
When within 80 yards II the move.
ment, Armbruster stepped around a
clump OF mimosa directly into the
presence of the big bull, standing head
on. Ii is likely that the old fellow
would have wheeled and departed on
being startled. but, firing from the hip,
Armbruster sent h!s first barrel into
the neck and, with great snort, the
wounded animal charged. The unfor-
tunate sportsman started to dart be-
hind the mimosa. but tripped and fell
headlong, and the huge engine of
ferocity was upon him before he could
rise or roll to one side. The long
horns were thrust so deeply through
his body that 1t was borne along some
little distance until the bull tossed 1t
OF. and then he plunged away through
the brush and was gone.
