LIONS. 67 



Livingstone started the idea I advert to, although 

 he had one arm completely smashed by a lion 

 bite, and he even went so far as to write that the 

 being mauled by an animal of the kind was by 

 no means a very unpleasant sensation. Well, the 

 Doctor was certainly one of the most intrepid of 

 men, but I have heard him say that he was a very 

 poor shot, and generally deficient in sporting 

 proclivities.
