US and I picked up my gun, which happened 

 to be within reach, and killed it. In a lew 

 moments two more came to the spot where 

 the dead one was lying and I saved both ot 

 them. I then told my friend to build a lire 

 and I w^ould skin the antelope, and we would 

 have some fresh meat. He said he w^ould do 

 so and asked me w^iere he would find some 

 wood. I pointed at some ^'chips'' and told 

 him there was plenty. Contrary to my ex- 

 pectations he jumped right into them and 

 began raking them up with his hands, and it 

 was but a few minutes until he had a chunk oi 

 bread in one hand and a lump of meat in the 

 other.
