WITH FLASH-LIGHT AND RIFLE 



stalk and to overpower a full - grown bull. Yet the 

 "lion's ride" depicted by Freiligrath, the German poet, 

 is a possible thing. Andersson relates that he once saw 

 a giraffe with a lion on its back. 



The powerful kick of the bull giraffe is apt to keep 

 a lion at a respectful distance. The giraffe is even able 

 to shake off his enemy and run away from him. Near 

 the Grecei volcano I killed a bull with many scars and 

 minus the tuft of the tail. The old bulls, as a rule, 

 are wary and do not frequent the drinking-places, the 

 natural hunting-grounds of the lion, as often as do the 

 young and the females. 



Where other game is plentiful the lion will leave the 

 giraffe alone. 



Yet, between the lion's tooth and the small-caliber 

 rifle of the human hunter, the giraffe will not escape 

 destruction.
