Hunting
in the
Molppo
Country
By Percy Selous
Wherever nuns are made and sold
and game is hunted for the sake of
the sport of it the name of helous
is familiar. The stories of his
achievements circle the globe and
tens of thousands of lesser hunters
feel honored to have hunted with
him on occasion or to have crossed
his track or followed his trail. A
confirmed nomad, a soldier of the
chase by irresistible predilection, he
has spent his life hunting, trapping
and traveling, sometimes in the Ca
nadian woods, sometimes in the for-
csts of the Andes, sometimes in the
passes of the Central Asian moun
tains, sometimes w the northern ice,
sometimes in the African jungle,
and tho slonj of his hunting expe
riences is a romance of fact and ad
venture. A member of this famous
family of hunters is accompanying
Theodore Roosevelt into tho jungles
of Kasl Africa.
E HAD had vory little sleep
SJITi nKht, owing to tho
prowling around nnd roar-
inn ui nous, aurnciou ay
tho offal of a glraffo
which I had shot tho pre
vious afternoon, and had
had dragged bodily up to
tho wagon. Tho night was,
howovor, so dark that I
could not get n vlow, and,
although I onco thoucht I
could mnko out tho form of a
lioness in tho gloom, I concluded it
was not best to fire, ns, in tho event of
my only wounding her, Bho would havo
had much in her favor should sho havo
attacked us in such darkness. I was
not sorry when day broke, for tho oxen
ana norses wero very unensy; but tho
ukcrm was good, having boon strength
ened a counlo of dnvs boforo. not thnt
a lion, having onco made up his mind
to nuacit, would bo kept out by such
menns. Howover, nothing occurred
further thnn tho roarlnir and. nflnr n
hurried bronkfnst of coffeo nnd glrnffo
steak, l and Bob, ono of tho black boys,
iook up tno opoor ot tho Hon, which
was plain enough about and mound
tho enmp.
All wo had loft of tho ctrnffu wan
represented by a fow Bpllntors of bones
which tho hyenas had nollshed after
tho lion nnd gorged hlmsolf. For somo
dlstnnco along tho river bank tho
country was pretty well wooded,
whilst away to tho north stretchod tho
Kalahari, dotted horo nnd thoro with
scant timber clumps, but otherwise a
vast sea of sand. I did not tnkn rav
horse, as ho wns a bit stiff from tho
tumufo of tho day boforo; ho had also
somewhat renewed his InmenosB, which
was scarcely to bo wondored nt, consid
ering tho country I had ben galoping
mm over. Tlio Hon hnd mndo dlroct
for n thick patch of thorns nnd had
evidently Inld up thoro. 1 had no dog.
My last had boon so Injured by a Koo
doo bull, which had lltorally disembow
eled him, thnt I had boon compelled to
shoot htm. This was n groator loss lo
mo thnn I can express, for a good tor
tier Is simply Invaluable.
On the Track of a Lioness.
Tho brush was so thick that It was
next to lmposBlblo to get through it,
and thoroforo, ns it was clear around,
and thoro was no foar of making a con
flagration, I sot fire to it ns tho best
apparent menns of ousting our gnmo.
Tolling Dob, my Kafir driver, to koop
closo behind mo, I wont a llttlo fur
ther round tho cover nnd was Just In
ttmo to sco u lioness break away, but
no far off that 1 did not flro, preferring
to lot lior go, in hopes of gottlng a
nioro favorable chanoo for a shot. By
this tlmo the blnzo had got so poworful
Unit wo, too, wero glad to got away
.om it; 110 degrcos, or thereabouts,
was sufhclont of itsolf as a tempera
turo, without nddltlonnl warmth.
Tho lioness made straight for an
other bit of brush, whlthor wo wont
nftor hor, nnd, though tho thorns woro
quite thick enough, I decided to follow
her in. My boy did not rollBh accom
panying mo, nor could I oxnetly blamo
him; for, though a fair hunter and a
bravo enough lad in ordinary, ho did
not llko Hons, his father having boon
killed nnd his brother badly mauled by
ono. It wns rathor difficult keeping
hor spoor, but nftor somo troublo nnd
consldernblo woar and tear, I csplod
hor lying on a bnro spot, wntchlng mo
intently. Her bond- was rostlng bo
twoon her paws and, as quickly ns pos
sible, I fired betwoon her oyos, and
could havo Bworn I planted tho bullet
there, for sho wns not above thirty
pacos from me. Turning to tnko my
sparo carbine from nob, I found that
ho had vanished. Dut tho lioness never
stirred, nud I was hurriedly reloading
whon sho suddenly Jumped up and
dashed furthor into the thicket
Unparliamentary lsneuse relieves
the feelings, If nothing; more; so, after
havlnjc ann.1hematlr.ed poor Bob, 1 one
m
more plunged after tho lioness, won
derlne bow our next meeting would
eorae tlT. There was plenty of blood,
Just where her head had lain, and also
enough to guide- me easily on the
tracks she had taken. Indeed, boforo
I wis twnro of It, I was almost cn top
f her. Stepping steadily back she
lay dlreetly from me I drew another
bead between her ears at the base of
her skull, and let fly. This time thcro
could be no doubt as to Its being ef
fective, for, ns I stood, I could seo
where tho bullet bored right into her
brnln. The lioness never so much ns
moved, so I stepped up and oxnmined
hor. My first bullet had struck her too
low beneath tho eyes to reach her
brain. It had torn through tho cartll
ago of tho nose and down her throat,
momentarily stunning and so stuplfy
lug her that hor last rush was a ran
dom ono; but she was dead, to all in
tents nnd purposes, nnd doubtless was
not In need of my second ball. Hor
skin wns sMply of no value, and could
only have boon nn eyesore, so 1 did
not bother to tnko It off, only keeping
her skull, nnd returned to tho wagou
to rate my hcodloss driver soundly,
Awakened by the Roar of a Lion.
My theory was that a lioness would
probably not bo altogether solitary, as
Is sometimes the caso with animals of
tho malo sex. Acting on this hypoth
esis, I determined to cast around nnd
sco if I could not mako out furthor
signs of lions. I did not need meat.
Thoro was plenty for some tlmo, and
tho additional oxcltcmcnt attached to
hunting such gnmo as 1 was after had
n groat fascination. It wns no uso my
talking to Dob, and tho other boy
would probably havo fled nt tho first
sight ot a Hon, ao I started off myself
nnd tramped about until I was pretty
woll exhausted, without finding nny
furthor indications of "Isllounn." Much
disgusted, I returned to camp, pleased
that 1 had not decided to inspau nnd
trek farther, without satisfying my.
Holf that I had not passed a Hon by;
for I meant moving ns soon as ever tho
moon wns old enough to gutdo us nt
all. That evening I whlled away tho
tlmo while daylight lasted Jn cleaning
tho skull ot tho lioness nnd entering
up my diary for tho last week or bo.
My clothing also oadly needed patch
ing up after tho wait-a-bit thorns of tho
dny beforo. Then I turned in early
and was soon In the realm ot dream
land, to bo awakened by tho uumlstnk
able roar of a lion.
I had been right after all, but only
felt half pleased at being disturbed.
Thoro was nothing for It but to mount
guard again, nnd another broken
night's rest was tho consoqucuco. Still
tho nnlmnls did not seem to approach
any noarcr. By tho sound thoy wero
evidently close by tho water. As soon
as tho morning snack was over I set
tho boys to work to get everything In
rcadlnoss for Inspannlng, nnd started
off onco ngaln, this tlmo keeping close
along tho bank of tho rlvor as the most
likely way of coming across tho spoor
of tho lion. I still thought it prudent
to rest my horso, as whon wo got far
thor out into tho veldt I should find it
much moro difficult to dispense with
him thnn where I then was, with pretty
well of cover. A couple of miles down
the river I found whore tho Hons bad
boon drinking. Thoro woro sovcral of
thorn thrco, anyway, as I could dis
tinguish from tho pug marks Iwo full
grown ones and a cub, or cubs.
This discovery caused me to reflect
a bit as to the wisdom ot proceeding
singlo-hnndcd. Howovor, I must either
givo up tho idea of the hunt altogether,
or tackle them myBelf; for I had no
confidence in tho boys at such work,
and I would much rathor be without
them than with them. Yet I felt It was
a risky undertaking nnd recollections
of a previous encounter in which I had
been knocked senseless by a Hon in a
death charge flitted through my brain.
It I had only had a dog I should not
have thought anything of it, but my
doubts were speedily dismissed and I
stepped briskly forward. A Hon diet
a let Miter thai t trie sly eeer r a
Jaguar, is I heS rave4, aan even
deer with hilllel throuth Its heart
will go farthor before it succumbs. Of
the (leer I cannot speak, but the
leopard nnd the Jaguar, as also the
puma, or mountain lion, partake more
of the "cat" tenacity of llfo than docs
tlio lion of South Africa.
Tracking on High Ground.
The spoor led away towards some
higher ground, intertwined with a tan
gled growth of creepers, and which
looked Just' like tho kind of harbor my
gamo would be likely to tako refugo
In. I even thought 1 could discern
somo moving objects there. Anywny I
followed the spoor right to where I
had calculated I should find rccont
trnccs or the Hons If they had not left
tho vicinity, nnd suddenly In tho sun,
at full length among tho rocky boul
ders, I camo across ono. As I ap
proached, he lazily raised his head and
looked at me, at tho samo time utter
ing a low growl, ns if annoyed nt my
Intrusion. As ho did not seem in
clined to move further, nnd must havo
descended and climbed the side of tho
llttlo kloof which Intervened between
us beforo ho could reach mo, though I
did not nntlclpnto this, I walked on
towards him, till I got to my side of
tho rnvlnc, about thirty paces from
him. He now seemed ns it ho had
(bought that ho had permitted mo to
encroach far enough on to his domain,
and ralsod himself on his forcquartcrs,
tho lip of his tall twitching in n man
ner which I knew meant mischief
should I wound him. If ho moved
away I might not gel a better chance,
though I wished tho distance had been

less; but on such occasions as these It
docs not do to hesitate long, so I look
nim at hlu shoulder! which presented n
fair mark, and as I fired ho fell over
with a roar which was answered somo
llttlo way off, doubtless by his mnte.
I speedily got nnothor cartrldgo in,
nnd, as he lay writhing, I ran down tho
bank and up towards him. Ho re
covered n little ns4 got nearer, cover
ing him all tho while, and made a
futllo attempt to charge me. As ho
did so, I gave him nnother shot In tho
chest, dropping him, though ho wun
up again directly and glaring at mo
viciously. Agnln his roars wero an
swered, but I could seo no signs of
any other Hons; In fact, I dared not
tako my oyefl moro thnn an Instant
off tho one I had in hnnd. I still kept
moving utcndlly up to him, and, hav
ing got as near ns I thought advis
able, Just as ho seemed about to mnko
another effort to como at me, I got a
third bullet into him, this time catch
ing him right In tho car and finishing
him. Ho was a fully-grown young
male, with u pretty fair mnue, but
nothing like so lino aa others I havo
met with. I measured him by step
plug, nftor I had stretchod hi in out,
and his length, from snout end to tip
ot tall, was a little ovor ton feet. I
had no tlmo then to sco farther to
him, but set about searching for tho
other Hons, which wero still In tho
underbrush adjoining. But though
1 beat almost every yard, as I thought,
of cover, I could not como across
thorn, thoy lay so closo. Had thoy
crossed tho open, I could not vory
woll have missed soelng thorn, a3
thoro wns qulto a distance ot bnro
veldt all around the cover I wns hunt
lug through.
I wns Just persuading myself that
thoy must hnvo sneaked away, when
a cub, about the slzo of -a Newfound
land dog, Jumped out of n thick patch
pou, and I bollovo alio would havo
and stood gazing steadily at me. I
did not tlnro to empty my barrel at it,
for I folt that its mother wns near
by. In u mlnuto or so another cub
followed the first and a6o took n
good look nt my doubtless unexpected
person; nnd whilst my Ideas were
somewhat confused as to tho really
best course to pursue, n fine old lioness
mnrcbed grandly out and stationed
hersolf bcsldo her prosony; at the
same time fixing me in anything but a
ploasnnt manner with her penetratinr
orbs of almost Indescribable green
Getting a Lioness with Her Cubs.
I dent think she meant ehsrelnt:,
hi'pver; ene eaa tell intuitively pret
ty eorreetly whn this l eolne to hap-
pen, and I believe she would have
gone quietly away and taken her eubi
with her, if I had not Interfered. The
tonets ventilated by a eertaln ex
plorer of prominence, who evidently
considers It a bolnous crlmo to kill
lions and similar gentle, useful crea
tures, had not then come to my knowl
edge, not lhat they would have influ
enced mo a bit, If Biich had been the
case, nnd Jicr rich, tawny skin was
sufficient temptation for tno; so 1
aimed at her throat, which presents n
much oaslcr nnd safer mark than that
of tho Hon, with Its matted and tan
gled mane, sufficient at times to offer
considerable impediment to a bullet.
Sho must havo raised her head as I
fired, for my ball passed harmlessly
by; fortunately, too, for me, missing
tho youngster immediately behind her,
or a pretty hullabaloo might have
boon tho result. All tho samo, I was
in no enviable position, with my car-
blno empty, In closo proximity to these
throo cnts. I followed tho old adage
of keeping my eyo intently fixed on
that of tho lioness; whether that had
anything to do with her rofralnlng
from charging I will not pretend lo
say, but sho did remain still whilst 1
mechanically reloaded nnd ns me
chaulcnlly brought up my wenpon.
Taking more careful ntm this tlmo, 1
potted her right In her whlto crnvat.

suddenly vanished Into cover ngaln,
rnther to my rollef. My lioness strug.
gled so violently that it was difficult
to finish her off, but nt last she gave
mo a chance lo put her out of her
misery by n bullet through her brain.
As soon ns she lay still I seated my
self upon her and waited for tho reap
pearntico of the cubs, but, although I
stayed uuttl tho sun hnd got very low,
I never saw anything moro of cither
of them. I therefore whipped off her
hide, and rolling It up returned to the
lion, and served him llkowlse, getting
through with tho Job boforo dusk. Tho
hyenas could now worry at tho car
cassos, though I hoped I might find
the skulls In tho morning. Making
my two skins Into n bundle, though
nn unwieldy one, I cnrrled it all right
back to tho wagon.
