great, that even that must be
conducted by strategem.
when these birds are pursued,
they will run for hours in a wide
circle; the hunter gallops after
them, but describes a much
smaller circle and can therefore
maintain the pace for a longer

sometimes envelopes himself
in the skin of an ostrich, his legs

and his arm managing the head

thus enabled to get among a

only wounded. We found it most
difficult to take aim, as the dogs
beset them on all sides. However,
they were much disabled. one

the other, with a bullet in his
