 save "grief" altogether, but did prevent what 

 might have been a very nasty thing. The lion 

 got it in the heart all right, but before he actually 

 died his death-rush carried him into the midst of 

 the crowd : but he only succeeded in knocking 

 down a couple of men, whereas there might have 

 been a very nasty mauling for some one. 



It is very hard to place lions in any particular 

 localities in East Africa, except on the Athi Plains 

 and round Kiu Station on the railway, as they 

 are to be found practically anywhere where there 

 is plenty of game, throughout the length and 

 breadth of the country.
