Dark aa the night was, all were busy around the little encampment, if I ex
cept the dogs, who seemed to be possessed of such timidity that neither words nor blows could drive them out
-from,the shelter they had taken between the wheels. For some minutes all had become quiet, and I commenced
to hope that it had been a false alarm,
when a roar so loud and close aa to awake the echoes of the surrounding koppies broke the monotonous stillness
of the night. Such a roar I have never hoMcd. previously or since; let him that likes say what he may, it made the
earth tremble. To the reader it may appear impossible that any animal can produce a volume of sound that almost rivals the thunder in its density ; but let me assure him, if he has heard a mature lion, in the f nil vigor of his life, give utterance to his wrath, he will agree with me that thera are a sublimity and grandeur in the voice, which, if they do not equal the depth and power of thunder, very nearly approaches to it. If. quiet had comparatively reigned before, now all was excitement. To and fro the bullocks rushed, trying to break their rheims, the horses reared and pulled upon their halters as if determined to strangle themselves, or upset the wajron,' while every native
who was not armed" seized a fire-brand and shouted and called to my animals to endeavor to still their fears. So in
tense was the darkness that, nothing could be seen, yet William fired a couple of shots in the direction from
which he imagined the sound proceeded.
The blase and report of his heavy elephant gun, one would imagine, would have driven off anything in the form of a quadruped; but not so; the lion roared aaram at even shorter distance
than at first, causing the bullocks to become frantic with fear, and therefore to use. their utmost power and strength
to break loose. I thought I could trust the rlteimn,
but alas! I was in error, for one more violent struggle than had previously been made took place, and they stave
way, and the whole team went down to leeward as if they were stampeding before a forest fire. As the method (for it certainly is a preconcerted and ar
ranged plan) adopted by lions wnen
about to attack a span of cattle may not be known generally, I will briefly attempt to describe it. Lions, as a rule, hunt in family parties. A very old male, not unfrequently incapacited from taking an active part in pursuing game, is generally te be found at the head of this, coterie, and on him devolves no unimportant part of the progran adopted by them when a trader's or traveler's cattle are resolved upon as the victims of their ferocity and power. Popular Science ftrHT MaWCK and hatred are very fretting, and apt to make our minds sore and m
