232 IN BRIGHTEST AFRICA 
dream of thirty years, I was not alone. There were 
three friends who keenly appreciated all that it 
meant. 
We had made good in our boasted undertaking of 
taking ladies on a real gorilla hunt, presumably the 
last word of danger and adventure in the popular 
mind. Another popular illusion gone to smash! It 
was adventure full of beauty and charm and hard 
work, but absolutely without danger. 
The gorilla is not dangerous, but he is impressive. 
I have taken a tape and measured around the chests 
of two good-sized men standing back to back. The 
two together measured three inches less than Brad- 
ley’s gorilla alone. His chest unexpanded was 62 
inches. He weighed about as much as two men, 
360 pounds. 
Although not so tall as Dempsey, the gorilla weighs 
nearly twice as much, and his arms are longer and 
more powerful. But his legs, on the other hand, 
are much shorter. Unquestionably a well-developed 
man can travel both faster and farther than a 
gorilla. 
One can visualize something of his size by a com- 
parison of his measurements with those of Jack 
Dempsey.
