Thereupon the (ter mini, who is n skMlt'd hunter, took his gun mid wen! out to look for the irrcnt ape. He soon caught n glimpse of him between two breaches of a tree, nnd, as the animal peered out from thin lofty li!.ilinr plnee, he fired twice, and struck him inch time in the lower iaw, 't'lli the result that he lost Ids liolil on the tree and eainc ernshlntr down tlii-mit-h the lirnnehcs.
