OF anger, sprang at the native as he was

Hippopotamus Difficult to Hunt.

The hlppopotamus is very ddHcult to
hunt by means Of drugging. In fact, out OF
half dozen saw shot with the drugged
rods, not one was stupeded To make sure
that the amateur hunter will get his hippo
another means was adopted by my partner
It is well known that a hlppopostmus
Immediately upon receiving It's death wound,
sinks to the bottom Of Its water hole,
where 1t dies from the effects of the bullet
or oy drowning The carcass does net rise
to tie surface Of the water till seven to
twelve hours, according to the temperature
Of the water and the contents of the stom-
ach. with this knowledge, the professional
caterer to sportsmen sets out himself, or
sends one Of his men, to shoot hippo.
As soon as one Of the animals is killed, the
visitor is taken to the water where tEs
beast was shot and directed to fre on any
hippo In sight. The hippo shows only .
small target for his bulk for only .he upper
part of his head is exposed above the sur.
face Of the water when he is SWIMMING.
As soon as the sportsman fires, whether
he hits the animal or not, one of the aattyss
will cry "A hit !" and the hunt will end.
If by chance he hits what he shot at, tAs
professional with him takes a shst at An
imaginary hippo somewhere out Of sight,
and@alsc claims a hit. This is to account
for the possible appearance OF two nsstias
hippos hext morning when the sportsnAn 10

In view Of the extent Of the praetics Of
Jack and others, ii Is not to be wondered
at that so many hunters return from the
Jungle to boast Of their shso.xag, or bdittie
