Mv journey from Meshra to Khartoum was' witlioiit special interest, except that I 

 Hippopoiamiis witnessed u hii>popot!imns hunt by natives, and as I have never seen their tactics reported it 

 may be of sufficient interest to recount here. 



I saw them lirst with a stout rope attached to a three-parts grown hippo., with 

 some 50 to lUH men hauling on it, dragging him into shallow water. The rope broke and 

 the beast got away, but he still had two spear heads trailing two ropes, with half-a-dozen 

 large wooden floats attached. This conhrliniipx gave me the o})p()rtunity of seeing how they 

 put the noose on him again. 



The hippo, was allowed to swim about for some time with the floats attached, and 

 exhaust liimstdf somewhat. His position was thus known, however long he might remain 

 under ami however little nose he might put out of water for breathing purposes.
