BEARS & WATER-HOLE SHOOTING 



sionally happen, and it is as well to be prepared for all 

 contingencies. 



Just as I was finishing this chapter I received, from a 

 well-known resident, a very interesting photograph, here 

 reproduced, of a bear-shooting incident. The gentleman 

 was out one night, some years ago, trying the (to an Euro- 

 pean) novel experience of hunting deer with a stalking 

 buffalo, and the party was deliberately attacked by a small 

 female bear, which came running out at them from the 

 jungle. My informant shot the bear, and photographed 

 the scene next morning.
