wounded animals and the snap
ping of the teeth of hundreds of

been expected, the wild hCgs re-
mained about the tree where the
hunters were located, the men
became alarmed and stopped
shooting. At last some of the
ipecary saw the hunters in the
tree and became frantic when
they seen they could not get at
the men; at first the men were
:amused when a number of the
hogs began gnawing at the bark
of the tree, but became serious
when the pecary began roofing
around the tree and biting and
tearing UP the roots, for they
seen the hogs were making con-
siderable headway. Then the
hunters began shooting at the
animals again, especially those
directly under the tree. but this
instead of frightening the wild
hogs only enraged them the more.
AT last the tree began to tremble
and sway to one side, and one of
the men, a Sraniard, being quite
an athlete, managed to get over
intosanother tree but the other
men were not quite so fortunate
and when at last the tree fell a.

a few things from his observa-

disappeared in the jungle and the
Spaniard climbed down the tree,

Hunting Wild Game in a
South American
Jungle.

the Iquitos, on the upper ANA
zon, only few months ago, that
four men were doing a little ex-
ploring in that great rubber reg
ion at the head waters of this
largest river of South America.
One day in cutting their way
through the jungle with their
machetes, they found a beaten
path where there had recently
been passing a large herd Of wild
hogs, and as these men were get
ting a little tired of exploring in
this dense jungle, and, too. were
running short Of provisions, and
the meat of wild hogs is consid-
cred the greatest delicacv of the
forest in these parts, these ex-
plorers were exceedingly anxious
TO get several animals of this
herd, which they felt pretty sure
must not be far off, so they
climbed one of TIE trees that
hung over the trail that they had
found and hung their hammocks
in the branches in such a man
ner that they had rather COM
Portable place from which to be-
gin their watch for the expected
game. They had several reasons
for climbing the tree when they
did; they had heard that these
pecary attacked hunters in a very
way when once they were
wounded, and from the several
accounts they had received when |
once attacked by these animals
in the jungle there was not much |
time given the hunters for the |
selecting of a suitable tree to
climb, so they thought they had |
better do the selecting before
hand.
They thought it would be only |
a matter of a few hours, at most, {
when the hogs would appear a.
long the trail, but the time had |
heightened out until the fourth
day had come and they had seen
in the way of game big
ger than monkeys and parrots, so
they were getting discouraged
and they were making prepara-
tions to climb down the tree and
give up the hunt, and were MAX
ing an effort to console them
selves that perhaps after all it
would be better to try and find a
wild hog out alone in the forest
than to tackle a whole herd for
the first time at once. But they
had barely completed their first
preparations to descend TO the
jungle below when they heard a
great noise of the herd rushing
through the bushes and the tall
grass. 1t turned out to be a large
herd of perhaps a thousand ami
mails, AS soon as the first part
of the herd came along the trail
near the tree where the hunters
were in hiding. the shooting be,
gan and continued for a while so
as to get as many of the herd as
possible before they disappeared
in the forest. But to their sur
prise. instead OF running away
the shooting only produced con-
fusion among the herd and they
