A DAY ON THE ATHI RIVER 



225 



rambling back through the trees, I caught sight of 

 a graceful-looking antelope in the distance, and on 

 cautiously approaching closer saw that it was an 

 impala. My stalk was crowned with success, the 

 beautiful animal being bagged without much trouble; 



'A SUCCESSFUL SNAPSHOT OF AN IMI'ALA JUST AFTER IT HAD BEEN 



SHOT." 



and on reaching my prize I was delighted to find 

 that its horns were much above the average. On 

 another occasion I was fortunate enough to get a 

 successful snapshot of an impala just after it had 

 been shot by a friend, and the photograph gives a 

 very good idea of what mine was like.
