Bropson, the author of “in Closed

One mprning peoffrey Charles
I Buxton left camp at dawn <yith his
Somali shikari. When not more
than half an hour out from camp
he saw a big black mane about a
hundred yards away, leisurely retir
ing before^ him. Buxton raced in
pursuit until he came within fifty
| yards of the lion, and then, some
! what winded, halted for a shot. At
the same, moment the lion stopped
j and turned. TIis tail be^an to
lash angrily from side to side, his
head was raised and his eyes blazed
angrily.
With a steady aim fluxion sent a
heavy bull crashing into his quarry
and dropped fiim quivering ip the
grass. If ffuxton had left hitp th£
lion would have been dead in fifteen
minutes, but although he kpe^v he
had given a mortal wound Buxton
fired again, fie could see little qf
the recumbent body and missed
The shot, however, roused the dying
lion to action. He rose and chayged
In another instant the huntsman
and his quarry were at death grip3.
Buxton was sure that the lion
was carrying his death wound and
that he needed only to save him
self for a few moments. Above all,
he must keep his feet and hold the
lion off. So, as the linn came on,
Buxton rammed his empty rifle bar
rel into the open jaws until three
fourths of its length had passed
down the animal’s throat.
lhere followed a struggle unpar
alleled, 1 believe, in the history of
lion hunting. They swayed and
struggled, while the beast’s claws
tore the flesh of the man’s arms and
legs to ribbons. Just as Buxton was
near going down in sheer exhaus
tion help came from the Somali
shikari.
The shikari had been trying all
this time to shoot the lion with the
spare Mauser, but could not dis
charge it. The. gun had been set
at “safe,” and in his excitement the
Somali failed to discover what the
trouble was.
At length, in the very nick of
time, the Somali dropped the gun
and literally sprang upon the lien’s'
back. Then he began to pound the
beast so vigorously with his fists
that it whirled about to reach him,
and man and beast went to earth to
gether, the Somali beneath the lion
and the Mauser rifle beneath the
Somali.
Thus released, Buxton painfully
rose, gingerly pulled the Mauser
free and with it blew the lion’s
brains out.
Dr. Hall, the resident physician
of Juja farm, got to Buxton just
in time to «ave his life. With
iron nerve Buxton had cauterized
bis thirteen deep wounds with pure
crystals of permanganate of potash
and so prevented septicaemia from
•adding, to the peril that he suffered
from his loss of blood.
