to camp where We we're before de-

opportunity to rest while Duncan and
I went out on a scouting trip.
AS We rounded a bend in a stream
a large animal jumped and started run
ming. We could see that he would
have to climb a steep hill that would
put him in plain sight of US. Sure
enough. he started up the hill. and as
soon as he came in sight 1 saw it was
big bull buffalo with good head.
Duncan fired. The bull fell end over
end and crashed into the underbrush
below.
To our surprise. the rashing did not
cease when he hit the bottom: as he
reached the ground he tore through
the underground toward US.
We walked backward in the middle of
the stream so as to give us the advan-
tage of as much open space as possible.
which would give us an opportunity for
a shot should he bear down upon us.
but he crossed the stream just around
the bend not. more than thirty yards
from us. and Duncan took q snapshot
as he disappeared in the thick cover
on the opposite side Of the stream.
We went to where he crossed. The
bushes, grass and stones were spat-
tered with blood. We followed the
trail into the dense cover for few
yards, when it got so thick We could
see only a few feet.

thing in the world that l really feared
it was a wounded buffalo.

so we went up to within twenty yards
of another and l threw a club in
under the branches and out came two
big bulls. Lord Stafford had two
shots at the one on the right and Lady
Stafford two at the one on the left.
All of the shots were fired before the
bulls were more than sixty yards
away. They kicked UP such a cloud
of dust that hardly more than their
tails were visible.

soon saw that he was hard hit.
Duncan and Lord Stafford watched
the other; he was hit also.
They ran as the first one We had
jumped-in a semi-circle-and both
crossed the river. We found both
crossings. At length Duncan spied on
the opposite bank the one that he was
watching. He was staggering and
seemed to have a hard time to stand.

in which it was illegal to hunt?
