 tain SelOus, he at least did justice to one of the mighty hunters mGst marked traits. Captain Selous was modesty personified, and could seldom be induced to talk even impersonally of his adventures. Quatermain always professes, in moments Of emergency, to be in state of pitiable fear; but, of course, nobody believes nim, and when the time for action cones he bears himself as hero. Among the natives of Africa Captain Selous was known as "the man whc never told lie" His fictional counterpart bears the title Macumazaha, which is the kaffir equivalent for "the man who gets up in the middle of the night"
