I showed him my receipt and the
bill of lading given me by the agent.
He replied that the agent was not

what agreement the agent had made.

That was all l wanted. I got out

feet, with meshes ten inches square.
I felt that we had a good chance of
getting rhinoceroS in a net trap and
should save ourselves much time and
labor; II we could do so. When the

Then we turned our attention to
making pits. AS have explained be-

jure himself in falling into a square
pit, such as the natives generally
dug, and, Of course, an injured ami
NAL would have been of no use to
me. Hence the four pits that we dug
around TIE puddle were made wedge
shaped, instead of square. They were
six feet wide at the top and tapered
to three feet at the bottom; they were
eight feet deep and ten feet long,
with the approachstapering down so
there would be the least possible
chance that the beast would injure
himself when he fell. XIII
over the tops OF the PITS we oulit
platforms of bamboo poles, and COW
cred them with mud and leaves, taxi
ing care to leave no traces of our
work. To the building of each pit
we gave whole day of hard labor
and we were constantly on the alert
