possessed of wonderful vitality. The right and left horns of 

 this hartebeest measured, respectively, sixteen and a half inches 

 and fifteen and a half inches around the outside curve, ten 

 inches and nine and a half inches in circumference about the

 meat and head, our party reached camp shortly before dark, to 

 find that my friend had also secured two hartebeests during 

 the day. This abundance of meat in camp resulted that night 

 in a sumptuous feast for our forty black followers.
