IN AFRICAN FOREST AND JUNGLE 



His arms extended measured nearly nine feet ; 

 around his chest measured nearly seven feet. He 

 was nearly five feet ten inches in height. We skinned 

 him on the spot, and hung his skin and skeleton on a 

 branch of a tree. 



The following morning we went after the skin and 

 skeleton of the big beast Rogala and I had killed. I 

 put arsenic on the skin and stuffed it with dry leaves.
