ably. and the head may be thus used
at three different times.
Have the butcher dress the head and
split it apart. When it is to be used
wash and scrub in cold water.
Blanch the head by putting it in cold
water, bringing the water to a boil and
then throwing off and replacing by
more cold water.
Simmered In Stock.
After the head has been blanched
and has become cold rub it with
lemon. Then place it in boiling water
with three tablespoonful OF lemon
juice, slices of carrot. a peeled onion
stuck with cloves. sprigs of parsley
and a bay leaf. Let the head simmer
in this until it is quite tender.
The calf's head should now have the
bone taken out. and the meat may be
set aside for use. The broth in which
it has been simmered may be used for
soup.
The tongue thus cooked may be
skinned. sliced and served with a gar
nish of parsley.
Tie the brains in a muslin bag and
boil for a quarter of an hour. Peel off
the skin. chop the brains and season

vised that ! return with Inglis and
Meredith to Kampala and not to at
tempt the trip alone.
"Inglis sold several cases Of wine.
With the money we bought a store of
provisions. Then we packed up camp
and left, taking the few remaining
chop boxes. two mules and a horse.
ALTHOUGH we struck the worst part
of the rainy season. we reached KAN
pala in about three weeks. Every riv-
er and every little stream was over
flowing. but we couldn't wait.
Strange to say. l regard my expert
ence with lions in a humorous sort of
way. Fortunately we encountered no
man eaters The younger lions would
rather steal up in the night and pounce
upon a helpless horse or mule in camp
than attack men.
Scared Away the Lion.
"One night | was startled by a great
din. a changing Of pans and other tin
ware. accompanied by hideous yells by
the p~orters. I looked out and saw the
natives jumping around like mad.
They told me a lion had been prowl-
ing near my tent, but they had scared
it away. A similar outbreak disturb
ed the stiffness several nights later.
1.-The most terrifying experience l be-
lieve was with a herd Of wild buffa-
loes. I had forged ahead of Ingts and
Meredith and the natives and was
alone. The moment the buffaloes saw
me they started for me. The only
thing that saved me was the speed OF
my horse"
