GAME HUNTING IN AFRICA, AMERICAN •GALLERIES ALIKE Marksman Prefers Live Tigers to Clay Pigeons. Bv Time * Special NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—African |Mg game hunting Is something like Shooting clay pigeons, only more comfortable. In the opinion of John W. Vandercook, who declares that Somebody has been kidding America ftbout the dangers of the dark continent. ‘‘Car! Akeley”—who died recently tn South Africa—"had one of the tew authentic hairbreadth escapes t>n record,” said Vandercook. “Aketey actually fought a leopard, already wounded with his hare hands fcnd overcome the beast until its

death relieved him of hla predicament. But such aa that la raro—very rare.” A day In the life of an African lion hunter was sketched by Vandercook, an anthropollglst and author of "Tom Tom,” who recently returned from six months in the Interior of ‘‘technically unexplored” Liberia with his wife, Margaret Metzger Vandercoook, a sculptress. Breakfast in Bed In getting pelts and material for thrilling the stay-at-homes, the Intrepid African lion hunter—or huntress—begins the day by climbing out of bed, where he has had breakfast, and into a portable hammock, said Vandercook. There he lies prone, under a canopy, while native bearers trudge the primitive trails. After Incredible hardships, perhaps caused by the champagne bearer being at the far end of the line of forty or so natives, the clearing selected for the day’s danger is reached. Here experience counts, for If the hunter Is smart he will stay In his hammock until his camp chair is ready for him.

fanwlse through a section of the bush making such a racket that Hons and any other beasts in the neighborhood inadvertantly pop out Into the opdn while trying to get away from there. "Then,” said Vandercook, “the hunter raises an automatic rifle that will puncture a beech tree at half a mile, and If he doesn’t wing a native he’ll probably bring down a lion.” Another method of bagging lions, Vandercok said, Is practiced In more open country, but It takes a sturdier constitution. "Instead of being carried In hammocks,’’ he explained, "the hunter Jolts along in a flivver to a suitable parking space. He then wings his big game from the back seat.” Vandercook admitted that since going to Africa he will never feel the same about a lion skin again, or about the dangers of the trail or the dread of natlce treachery, poisonous snakes and, as he put It, "all that sort of bunk." Woman Scares Snake “Margaret—my wife—stepped on an eigbt-fot black Mamba one day while walking ahead. They are liko Cobras, and are listed In the natural history boks as very venomous and one of the few snakes that will at-

tack on sight. What did this one do? It beat It. “I carried a .45 revolver the first night we were on the trail, but it was heavy and the next day I packed It with our extra belongings and there our entire armament stayed while we visited vlUage after village of the Gola tribe and I found out all I could about their manner of living.” The basis of the hairbreadth escape stores about animals Is mostly the result of poor shooting, “for of course most wounded animals, and leopards, always, will attack,” said Vandercook. “But," he said. “we passed through a country rich in leopards, hyenas, snakes, deer, antelope, pythons, chimpanees and about thirty other varieties of monkeys, the pigmy and big hlppopotarnas, elephants and lions, and wo found that everything was more than willing to let us alone and that shooting them would have been most unexciting sport."
