But something decisive had to be done II
was ever to walk on dry land again. Az
the monster gradually approached me / had
to retreat before him, which greatly increased
my danger, for poor Captain had to back al
overruling Providence which kept him from
tottering over the ridge. At length heard
his hoofs splashing about in the shallow water
close to the banks, ana turning my poor
horse round i galloped to some distance
while the hippopotamus, apparently without
bestowing u thought upon either OF us, turned
off among the reeds end r,ishes end tumbled
into convenient mud hole, where he wal.
lowed about with many sigh and grnnt Of
comfort and content.
After a few moments devoted TO poor Cap
tain, and allowing him to recover his wind
! again made my way to the ford, on the
further bank of which my sturdy escort wae
standing making encouraging gestures to mes
while evidently in utter astoniehment at al
that had taken place.
:, Again | gave Captain the rein, and urged
him to enter the water; but scarcely had be
done SO. when l found that its depth had q
much increased that lie was compelled tc
swim. However. the plucky animal CALAMITY
breasted the rushing stream with an energl
and courage Of which had not believed hiir
capable. But. alas, poor Captainl all hif
courage was not sufficient for the occasions
fatigued as he was, he was quite unable q
hold his own, and in spite of the encouragina
cries Of the Hottentot, he lost his footing.
and rolled helplessly over the ridge. A ca.
taract Of water seemed to fall upon the top
Of me, rushing sound was in my ears, and
l knew no more.
When next recovered recollection was
lying on the grass a little below the ford,
with my trusty rifieman, all drenched and
dripping. bending anxiously over me. The
good fellow had thrown himself into the wa.
ter, and at the risk of his own life had saved
mine. My horse, too, had scrambled TO land,
and now siood with heaying fianks and droon
ing head awaiting my recovery.
As IL would have been impossible Tor ma
to have travelled again without few hours
rest, which, indeed Captain needed as fnucK
as did /, my escort set himself to gather
together materials for the FIRE, proposing at
the same time that we should camp where
we were, till the following morning How de.
licious the rest was. the dry clothes, the hot
coffee, need not tell my readers; they can
imagine it all for themselves, and ! dare say
they can al the same time imagine how crate
full felt to the stout little riheman who
had done me such good service without think
ing anything of it. The next day we con-
tinued our journey, which was now all plain
sailing and in due time arrived at our desth
nation, where speedily had so lively time
with the Caffres as to make me fQfget the
monotony of my life during the six months
which / had spent on the other side Of the
Fish River.
The Washington herald., 1911-06-18

Another moment, and the mystery Of the
snort was explained but in a manner very
unsatisfactory to me. The old tree trunk,
having hoated down till it reached the ridge
Of rock, began, to- my utter dismay, to rise
above it, higher and higher, till there stood
out beforc my astonished eyes a huge black
head adorned by two cleaning tusks, Next
appeared the shoulders, then the body and
colossal legs of an enormous hippopotamus,
which stood putting and painting as though
wearied by the effort It had made.
No words of mine could describe the awk-
wardness and danger OF the position in which
] was now placed. / knew very well that a
hippopotamus is rarely dangerous unless he
is interfered with. But here was the diff
Guilty. I was compelled to interfere with
him, for, OF course, / could not surrender
to the monster the whole use Of the fcrd,
while from his attitude he evidently intended
to march along towards that side of the
path ON which my horse stood If he had
only been going my way all would have been
well; but this was not to be-; he was slowly
rolling towards me, while poor Captain was
becoming unmanageable from terror, and
plunging wildly at sight Of the huge creature
before him, in whose small and deepset eyes
thought could perceive malicious twin
kle. But, as after events proved, this idea
OF mine was nonsense, only due to my dis
turbed imagination, for this ugly expression OF
eye is natural to the hippopotamus, whose
looks belle him, for though he is so hideous
to look upon, yet he is really milder in dis
position than any other denizen Of the South
African wilds.
/ must admit that this was the worst quar-
ter of an hour | had ever known In my life.

level, there seethed a foaming mass Of white
frothed water enough Co try the nerve and
temper of the best steed that ever was

But there is a wonderful instinct in horses
on occasions such as this. IL kindly spoken
to and left to their own guidance the chances
are that they will carry their riders safely
through every difficulty. And so it proved
on this occasion, though neither i nor poor
Captain had the least idea of the expert
ences which we had to undergo during the
passage of this formidable ford.
My Hottentot friend having brought his
horse to the brink, the animal stepped into
the water with a readiness which was evil
IDENTIFY the result of experience, but much
coaxing and patting was necessary before my
English bred animal would follow his sex-
ample At length the sight Of the troopers

ed the water and began cautiously picking his
steps along the unseen path, quite as though
he knew lwhat was indeed the truth) that
one false step would send him over the ledge
into the depths Of the torrent below.
On and on he went, without any effort on
my part to guide him, till we had nearly
reached the middle OF the river, my guide
having already landed on the other side, when
a loud sn6rt close at hand startled me, and
sent my horse plunging almost over the ridge.
"What could it have beenT l looked eau
tiously round but nothing was to be seen
save a shapeless, battered looking trunk of a
tree floating slowly down with the stream.
Still was sure that had heard the sound
Of heavy breathing, and my horse had eyi.

caution continued my advance, heartily wish.
