PERILS OF NIGHT-SUOOTIXCI. 3> 



" In the Bamanguato country it occurred on a 

 certain night that three or four natives proceeded 

 to the water with the object of lying in wait for 

 deer. One individual of the party, known as a suc- 

 cessful hunter, took up his position at some little 

 distance from his companions ; but feeling cold, he 

 left his place of concealment to join his friends, who 

 had a small fire in their ' screen.' On returning to 

 his own, he found it occupied by a lion, who in- 

 stantly pounced upon and devoured him."
