Those who had a few goats or sheep commenced to eat them one by one, until not the vestige of a hoof of these animals remained in their thorny enclosures. Those who had cattle were more favourably situated for withstanding the dire conditions which prevailed. Not only had they the advantage of a supply of milk, though greatly reduced in quantity by the drought, but they were enabled occasionally to bleed the cattle by opening a vein in the neck, and use the blood for food. Eventually, however, ...some of the cattle had to be killed so as to prolong the lives of the owners. At this period hundreds of the natives entreated my husband to go and shoot meat for them, as they were too weak to hunt and follow up the animals themselves. At times he had often secured a good bag for them, and when the rhinoceroses were destroying their little gardens Fighting the Famine Fiend 341 in the forest he had repeatedly complied with their urgent wishes to kill these gigantic depredators, for the poisoned arrows of the natives were useless against the thick-skinned and dangerous animals.
