One night the driver outspanned on the Umfuli River some sixty miles from Salisbury, and allowed the oxen to graze. During the night some lions got among the cattle and killed two large bullocks and nearly killed a third. Of course, the remainder of the thirty-two bullocks cleared in all directions and were not foimd for days. On the following afternoon I overtook the wagons and one of the drivers told me of the accident and took me over to where the dead bullocks lay. When we were within one h...undred and fifty yards of the carcasses, the driver pointed toward a brownish object and cleared back to the wagons. It took me several minutes to realize the true surroundings. There sat a large lion on his hatmches, back toward me, and slowly smoothing down his coat with his tongue. I looked about for a tree, but saw none within a couple of htmdred yards. I decided to chance it in the open and lodged a bullet in his back, fracturing his spine. This was a most lucky shot, for he turned and frantically endeavored to come for me, but he was as on a pivot.
