 peeped in he also saw the leopard. A man with 

 a rifle was sent for ; and when he arrived, the 

 leopard, realising that it was trapped, dashed

 escape, and was shot in the room. 



I was between fifty-five and fifty-six years of age 

 when I made this expedition to Africa, but, from 

 the sportsman's point of view, I was at my best. 

 I walked well, shot well, and my nerve was good. 

 In subsequent shooting expeditions, both in the 

 matter of walking and shooting, I was conscious 

 of deterioration. I may have done too much, and 

 I certainly worked very hard ; but I thoroughly 

 en j oyed myself, and the memories of this expedition 

 are particularly pleasant.
