But now came a sensational incident. As I was scrambling up the steep, muddy bank, Bob sud- denly made my heart leap into my mouth by shouting out, * A lion ! a lion ! ' and rushed off towards the pilota where our arms were. To be attacked by a lion in such an extremely de- fenceless state, sounds like no joke ; but to begin with, the name of Hon is in this country given to the puma, and on the present occasion at least, this spurious pretender to the kingdom of the beasts showed himself an utt...er craven, flying at the very sight of us, so that the first and last glimpse I got of him was, a tawny-coloured beast, about the size of a big Newfoundland dog, disap- pearing into the bushes. Jim professed to be very ill satisfied that it had not stood an encounter with us, for he thought a lion steak would be very ac- ceptable for supper, and the flesh of the puma is in fact not bad eating, resembling veal. He tried to make up for this disappointment by prowling about to have a shot at the variously tinted paroquets, which abounded on the banks, but was not able to hit one.
