Diary. 71 



next two shots over. The shot with 303, Jeffery 

 bullet, caught him in the ribs and passed through 

 like a solid bullet without breaking. Horns 

 thirty-one inches. The 303 is not good enough 

 for ory.r and I must give it up. Saw lion pugs 

 about six days old in the Ahamati bush jungle. 

 Had a shot at a gerenouk, 200 yards. Heard 

 bullet hit, and as he stood quite still looking at 

 the spot where the bullet struck the sand (for it 

 passed through), I got behind a bush and 

 managed to get 100 yards nearer, when he saw 

 me and faced my way. Fired again, caught him 

 iu centre of chest and dropped him ; first shot 

 through foreleo' grazing chest. Another buck 

 ran off, followed him and got a shot at about 120 

 yards. Hit him on centre of shoulder, bullet 

 passed through both shoulders, and he ran on a 

 bit (only one shoulder broken) and fell dead. 

 The Jeffery bullet is very uncertain as to whether 

 it breaks up or not.
