A Hippopotamus-hunt

The chief breaks the spell-he stands
DIP and gives his orders. All rise, and
at signal the men go down upon the
green carpet Of floating field. Complete
silence again-we hold our breath in
anxious expectation. The hippo is in
visible; il he is there he is hidden I'M
der the protecting grasses. Our wait Is
short; the hippo is indeed there: man
has felt him under his feet. But the
beast travels under the moving vault.
The blacks never lose track Of him for
moment; the circle closes in; for an
instant they fear that he will escape
them by going out toward the river,
and they hurry after him with. lances
poised; but he goes back to the mid
die Of the lake by an underground pas
sage. A man Is knocked over; jostled
by the invisible animal, he loses his
footing and falls. The hippo is here
quite close to us--We see the grasses
move. With great skill a man throws
harpoon with a strong cord attached
to it. shout of Joy goes up; the
harpoon stays upright, firmly planted
in the animals back. He disappears
once more. and the crowd Of hunters
pursues him closely. A second and a
third harpoon are successfully thrown,
and the ends Of the ropes quickly
passed to men in canoes. They
pull at the animal, which struggles and
resists, and, pushing up his head bel
lows furlously. He plunges down
again. pulling after him the canoes and
paddlers. There is an anxious NOM
ent but the weight Of numbers tells,
and he is brought back to the surface.
Finding he cannot escape he becomes in
furiated: he fights and struggles and
throws himself against the canoes, bit
Ing at them with his huge jaws he
turns and attempts to charge then
tries again to wreck the canoes. 1t Is
"a onNt 70 he, all
continue and the men close in and
spear him to death with their long
lances. His death is almost pathetic:
with an effort he lifts his forequarters
out Of the water and rests his head
sadly against the side Of a canoe. Then
his head falls his eyes close, and he
dies.-H. r. III. the Duchess of Aosta,
in Harper's Weekly
