AN INFURIATED RHINO 



convulsive kicks of its stumpy legs as it lay half on 

 its back, it never moved again. The second rhino 

 proved to be a well-grown youngster which showed 

 considerable fight as we attempted to approach its 

 fallen comrade. We did not want to kill it, and 

 accordingly spent about two hours in shouting and 

 throwing stones at it before at last we succeeded in 

 driving it away. We then proceeded to skin our 

 prize ; this, as may be imagined, proved rather a 

 tough job, but we managed it in the end, and the 

 trophy was well w r orth the pains I had taken to add 

 it to my collection. 



'THE TKOI'HV WAS WELL WORTH THE PAINS I HAD TAKEX 

 TO ADD IT TO MY COLLECTION."
