SAFARI HUNTERS 155 
inghame hunted elephants for ivory, and when a man 
approaches a herd looking for ivory, he is not likely 
to see much excepting tusks. It is natural, therefore, 
that from the ivory hunters we learn comparatively 
little of the more intimate things that we should like 
to know about the every-day life of the elephant. 
The world has no record of the knowledge of wild life 
that their experience should have given the ivory 
hunters. 
It is for this reason that the camera hunters appeal 
to me as being so much more useful than the gun 
hunters. They have their pictures to show—still 
pictures and moving pictures—and when their game 
is over the animals are still alive to play another day. 
Moreover, according to any true conception of sport 
—the use of skill, daring, and endurance in overcom- 
ing difficulties—camera hunting takes twice the man 
that gun hunting takes. It is fortunate for the ani- 
mals that camera hunting is becoming popular. 
The first notable camera hunter in Africa was 
Edward North Buxton, whose book, “‘Two African 
Trips,’ was published in 1902. In the preface to 
this book Buxton writes that “it would better be 
described as a picture-book than a volume of travels.” 
This book paved the way for another in 1905, “‘ With 
Flashlight and Rifle,” by C. G. Schillings. Consider- 
ing the state of photography at that time, Schillings’ 
book is a truly remarkable record of wild animal life. 
In 1910, A. Radclyffe Dugmore brought out his book, 
“Camera Adventures in the African Wilds.” In it 
are several pictures of lions taken by flashlight at night
