We left Durban at the end of January, and it was in tlie second week of 3I:iy that we camped near SiUinda's Kraal. Our ad ventures on tlie way were many and various, but as they were of the sort which befall every African hunter, 1 shall not with one exception, to be presently detailed set them down here, lest 1 should render this history too wearisome. At lnyati, the outlying trading station in the Matabele country, of which Ij !enu)a (a great scoundrel) is kin.sj, we, with many regrets, parted from our comfortable w:igoii. Only twelve oxen remaiiK-d to us out of the beautiful span ot twenty which 1 had bouirht at Durban. One we had lost from the bite o! a cobra, three had perished from poverty and the want of water, one had hecii lost, and the other tiin.ie had died from eat ing the poisonous her; called ' tulip.'

A Unit a fortnight's march from lnyati. we came across a peculiarly beautiful bit of fairly watered, wooded country. The kloofs in the hills were covered with dense bush, "idoro" bush as the natives call it, and in some places, with the "wacht-een-beche" (wait-a-Iittle) thorn, and there were great quantities of the beautiful "machabell" trees, laden with refreshing, yellow fruit with enormous stones. This tree is the elephant's favorite food, and there were not wanting sitrns that the great brutes were about, for not only was their spoor frequent, but in many places the trees were broken down and even uprooted. The elephant is a destructive feeder. Oae pveninsr, after a day's march, we came to a spot of peculiar loveliness. At the foot of a bush-Had hil! was a dry river-bed, in which, however, were to be found pools of crystal water all trodden round with the hoof-prints of game. Facing the hill was a park-like plain, where grew clumps of flat topped mimosa, varied with occasional glossy-leaved niachabells, and all round was the great sea of pathless, silent bush. As we emerged into this river-bed path we suddenly started a troop of tall giraffes, who galloped, or rather sailed off, with their strange gait, their tails screwed up over their backs, and their hoofs rattling like cas- ! tanets. They were about three hundred i yards from us. and therefore practically out i of shot; but Good, who was walking ahead. and had an express loaded with solid ball . , t . ! could not resist, but upped gun and let drive UiBce hoUTB from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. b mi day i.i i from 10 a. m. to lp.m. y at the last, a young cow.

Having se :t some of the "boys" to cut oiT the !et of tlie airallV meat we went to work to build a "schemi'' near one of thf jiools aliout a hundred yards to tiie rLrhc of it. This is done by cutting a quantity of thorn hushes and laying them in the shajie of a ; circular hedge. Then tlie space inclosed is I smoothed, and dry tambouki gra5s, if ob is made into a bvd in the center, and a lire or lires lighted. By the time the ".soherm" was finished, the moon was coming up, and our dinner of giratfe steaks aud roasted marrow-bones was ready, llow we enjoyed those marrow-bones, though it wa? rather a job to crack them! 1 know no greater luxury than giraffe marrow, unless it is elephant's heart, and we had that on the morrow. We ate our simple meal, pausing at times to thank Good for his won derful shot, by the light of the full moon, and then we began to smoke and yarn, and a curious picture we must have made squat ted there around the fire, i, witli my short grizzled hair sticking up straight, and Sir Henry witli his yellow locks, which were getting rather long, were rather a contrast, especially as 1 am thin, and short, and dark, weighing only nine stone and ' a half, and Sir Henry is tall, and broad, and fair, and weighs fifteen. But perhaps the most curious looking of the three, taking all the circum stances of the case in consideration, was Captain John Good, K. X. There he sat up- - locking iust aa theses fes I 1.

Presently from the depths of the bush lx hind us. came a loud "woof, woof!" -That's a lion." said 1, and we all stal led up to lis ten. Hardly had we done so. when Irom the pool, atxuit a hundred yards otf, came the strident trumpeting of an elephant. "Ineu bu! Ineuliii!" (elephant! elephant!) whis pered the Kaiirs; and a few minutes alter ward we saw a succession of vat shadowy forms moving slowly from the direction of the water toward the bush. Up jumped (iood, burning for slaughter, nnd thinking, perhaps, that it was as easy to kill elephant as. he had found it to shoot giraffe, but I caught him by the arm aud pulled hi 111 down. "It's no good," I said, "let them go." '"It seems that we are in a p iradise ot game. I vote that we stop here a day or two, ami have a go at them," said Sir Henry, presently. 1 was rather surprised, for hitherto Sir Henry had always been for pushing on as fast as possible, more especially since wu had ascertained at In-ali that about two ears a-o an En-lislunan bv tiie name ol Neville had sold Ins wagon there, and gone on up the country; but 1 suppose his liunier iustiiiel ha i t.rot. the ie;i,T . 1 imo. tioo I jumped at the idea, for !i.; was Jon--inj; to have a jro at the e!e(.iiauts, and so, to speak Hie truth, did I. for it went against my eonseieiic - !:i .-t siieii a lieiu as Dial escape v, illruit having a pull at Ihein.

The others a-reed, and we proceeded to make preparations, (luod took oil' ins v. thes sin. ok them, put his eyeglass and false teelh into his trousers pocket, und folding them all up neatly, laced them out of the dew under a corner of his mackintosh sheet. Sir Henry and 1 contented ourselves villi rougher arrangements, and were oon curled up iu our blankets and !rojij:- 1 IV in.o dreamless sleep that rewaius the traveler. Going, going, go What was thai'.' Suddenly from the direction of the water came a sound of vioient seullliug, and next instant there broke upon our ears a sueees sion of the most awlul mars. Tnere was no mistaking what they came from; only a lion could make sue,) a noise a inai. 11 e all jumped and looked toward the water, in the direction of which we saw a contused mass, yellow and black in color, staggering and struggling toward us. We seized our ritles, aud slipping on our veldtvlioons (shoes made of untanned hide), ran out of the scherin toward it. By this time it had fallen, and was rolling over and over on the trround. and by the t.me we reached it it struggled no longer bui was quite still. And this was what it w:;s. On tne grass there iay a sable antelop.- bull the most beautiful of all the Aincan antelopes quite dead, and transiixed bv its great curved horns was a liiagnilicicnt o.aeK-m med iion. also dead. What had happened evidently was this. The sable antelope h id come down to diiuk at the pool wot re tiie lion no doubt the same we ha-i heard had been lying in wait. While the ante!oe was drinking the lion had sprung upon i;im, but was received upon the sharp curved horns and transiixed. I once saw the same thing happen before. The lion, unable to free himself, had torn and bitten at the back and neck of the bull, which, maddened with fear and pain had rushed on till it dropped dead. As sixin as we had sufficiently examined the dead beasts we calied the Kaiirs, and be tween us managed to drag their carcasses up to the scherm. Then we went in and laid down, to wake no more till dawn. With the tirst light we were up and mak- me ready lor the fray. We took with us the three eight-bore rifles, a good supply ot ammunition, and our large water-ootiles. tilled with weak, cold te;:, w hic:i I have al ways found the best stuff to shoot on. Aftei swallowing a Hu.e tireaKlast we started, urn- bopa, Khiva, and Ventvogel accompanying us. The other Kafirs were left with the in structions to skin the lion and the sable an telope, and cut up thf latter. We had no clifheuity in f;f,iilng the broad elephant trail, which Ventvog'-I. after ex amination, pronounced to have been made by between twenty and thirty elephants, most of them iiiii-grown bail's. Bat the herd had in- vd on some way i!;iri:;g the lngui, and it was nine o clock, and K.rer.i-y very hot. bet ore, from the broken trees, bruised leaves and l ark, and smoking dung, we knew we could not be far oft tiim.

All three shots took cnVe!, and down he went dead. Again the herd st .it. d on. but unfortunately tor then) tiboiit a hundred yards furl In 1 on was a niiliali, or iliied wa ter track, wiih sleep banks, a place very much resembling the one the prince imperial was killed in Zululand. Into this the ele phants pIuitKod, and when we reached the edge we found them struggling in wild con fusion to get up the other bank, and tilling the air with their screams, and trumpeting as they pushed one another aside in theii sellish panic, just like so many human be ings. Now was our opportunity, and tiring away as quick as wo could load we killed live of the poor beasts, and no dniibt should have bagged the whole herd had they nol suddenly given up their attempts to climb the bank aud rushed headlong down the nullah. We were bo tired to follow theni, and perhaps also a little sick ol slaughter, eight elephants being a pretty good bag foi one day. .vo alter we had rested a little, and the K oils had cut oul 1 he hearts ol I w o of the (tea I elephants tor .-upper, we M 11 ! d home ward, very well plea-.ed with oi'i.s-lies, hav ing made up our mi nils to send tne bearoi on the morrow to chop out t liisks. Shortly alter we had p ssed the spot where (iood had wounde I the patriarchal bull we came across a herd of eland, but did not Fhootal them, as we had alieady plenty of meat. They trolled past us. As (iood was anxious to get a near view of them, never having seen an eland clos", he handed his rille to Unihopa, and, followed b.v Khiva, strolled up to the patch of bush. We sat down and waited lor him, not sorry of the excuse for a little rest. The sun was just going down in its red dest glory, and Sir Henry and 1 were ad miring the lovely scene, when suddenly we beard an elephant scream, ::nd s iw its huge and charging form with uplifted trunk and tail silhouetted against the great red globe of the sun. Next second we saw soiuet hiug else, and that was (iood and Khiva tearing back toward us w ith the wounded bull (lor it was liej charging alb-r them. 1-or a mo ment we did not dare to hie lor fear of hitting one of them, and the next a dreadful thing happened flood fell a victim to hi." passion for civilized dress. Had he consent ed to discard his trousers and gaiters as we had, and hunt in a 11. nine! shirt aud a pair of veldLschoons, it would have been all right, but as it was his trousers cumbered him in that desperate race, aud jires -ntly, when he was about sixty yards from us, his boot, polished by the dry grass. slip;ed, and down lie went on his face right in front of the elephant. We save a gasp, for we knew he must die, and ran as hard as we could toward him. In three seconds it had ended, but not as we thought. Khiva, the Zu.u !oy, had seen his master fall, and brave lad that he was, had turned and flung his assegai straight into the elephant's face. It stuck in his tin:.!:. With a .scream of pain the brute sHz-'d the poor Zulu, hurled him to the earth, aud plac ing his hugj f'Xit on his body .iIm.U Hie mid dle, twined his trunk round his upper part and tore ni.u in two. We rushed up rnad with horror, and fired again and again, and presently tiie elephant fell upon the fragments of the Zulu. As tor Good, he got up and wrung his hands over ih brave man who had given his life to save him, and. imslf, though an old hand. I te.t a lump iu ni' throat.

T.-.Kifig a handful of dry gr'ss 1 threw it into ti;e air to see how tiie wind was; lor if once they winded us 1 tnew they would be oil before we eouid get a shot. Finding that, if anything, it blew from the elephants to us, we crept stealthily on. and, ttmnks to the cover, managed to get within forty yards or so of the great bruies. Jn.-t in front of us and broadside on. btood three splendid bulls, one of them with enormous tusks. I whispered to the others lhat 1 would take tlie middle one; Sir Henry coveted tiie one to the left, and Good the bull with the big tusks. "Now," I whispered. Boom! boom! boom! went the three heavy rifles, and down went Sir Henry's elephant dead as a hammer, shot right through the heart. Mine fell on to its knees, and 1 thought he was going to die, but in an other moment he was up and off, tearing along straight past me.
