"Well, we were out after man eaters
that Is, Dana and Willetts were-while
I was merely in search of pictures OF
wild animal life. | didn't even have n
license, which is not required II you in
tend to shoot only what you need for
your natives to eat. But Dana and
Willetts had each invested in $3.50
license and they proposed to get the
worth OF their money.
"On the night to which I refer Dana
had strayed a long way from the rest,
and as night came on and we made
camp we missed him. We fired guns
and had a big fire going for a signal as
soon as 1t grew dark, but Dana didn't
show up. There was simply no count
ing the dangers he was exposed to,
lions, poisonous snakes, hyenas, &c.
AS IL was useless to start search
that night our party lay down to get n
little sleep, planning to be on the march
at the earliest dawn. While it was
still dark we were up and started out
in different directions, a white man and
n native and groups of natives together.
Well. we found Dana all right. But the
poor fellow was pretty well done up.
Here Is what happened:
"As night came on he thought he saw
lights ahead and his one idea was to
get there as soon as possible. Thus he
took little care for his footing and all
OF a sudden stepped into one OF those
dangerous pig holes dug by some
animal. They aren't very deep. for they
soon turn under some tree or stone, and
Dana placed both hands on the edge to
pun himself out.
"And that IL where the snake comes
in. A big fellow was lying along the
hole and Dana put both hands down on
top Of him. He jerked back OF course,
but the snake got him-got him on the
right hand between the thumb and fore
finger.
THAT would have been about enough
for most fellows-they would have
passed out right there. But Dana drew
his pocket knife and slashed his hand
deeply to let out the blood. Then he
applied a tourniquet about his wrist
and set Off for those lights. He got
there and the natives put him up for the
night, but he couldn't talk Kiswahile
and they couldn't talk English, so he
couldn't tell them why he was there at
that time Of night.
I'VE found him of course, and to re-
pay the natives for taking care of Dana
we doctored all their open wounds and
went away. We didn't have any
trinkets to give them-and washing up
a bad cut or bruise with civilized disin-
fectants is much better for the native
anyway.
Fortunately II was not a poisonous
snake that bit Dana, but the way he
went after the wound with his knife
shows his pluck.
