534 AFRICAN GAME TRAILS 



Kermit and I kept about a dozen trophies for ourselves; 

 otherwise we shot nothing that was not used either as a 

 museum specimen or for meat usually for both purposes. 

 We were in hunting grounds practically- as good as any 

 that have ever existed; but we did not kill a tenth, nor a 

 hundredth part of what we might have killed had we been 

 willing. The mere size of the bag indicates little as to a 

 man's prowess as a hunter, and almost nothing as to the 

 interest or value of his achievement.
