JUNGLE HUNTER 275 



question of the rhino charging by scent rather than 

 by sight. He charged straight toward me up-wind, 

 and when I dropped off the mound, to the south, I 

 was thrown off his scent. Either he lost sight of 

 me, as could easily have happened, or he is not 

 governed by sight— for he never swerved from his 

 path. I found both 12-bore bullets in his hind 

 quarters ; the .50 ball had gone in behind the right 

 ear, and into the left jaw. 



The rhino had stepped, as he drew near, upon 

 one end of a long, small log on the other end of 

 which I stood ; and thus he teetered me out of his 

 path. 



No doubt it was a lucky teeter for me.
