WITH FLASH-LIGHT AND RIFLE 



of hunting ducks and birds of all kinds. Night, too, 

 had exciting surprises in store for us. 



In many a dark and cloudy night the roar of lions 

 could be heard for hours, so that we became used to it, 

 and were sung to sleep by this strange lullaby. Then 

 again, on moonlit nights, the l)ulky forms of rhinoceroses 

 could be seen moving about near the cam]^. It was a 

 sight never to be forgotten, strange and imiM-essive, 

 the big animals standing out in clearly defined outlines 

 from the steppe bathed in moonlight, the snow-clad 

 mountain -tops of the Kilimanjaro looming up majes- 

 tically behind them.
