denly disappeared beneath the silent 
river. And then I realized how men, 
and animals by scores, had been quietly 
pulled down and drowned in exactly the 
same manner. 
V ERY little more could be learned 
about the actions of the crocodile 
before dark. After having held 
its prey under water for several min- 
utes the captor arose to breathe, just 
the tip of its nostrils showing above the 
surface; then it went down. After sev- 
eral minutes we knew that it was mak- 
ing its way up stream, for the buoy was 
moving in that direction. When it had 
gone some distance it came to the sur- 
face and thereafter swam partly ex- 
posed, towing the buoy and rope by the 
bait which it gripped in its long jaws. 
Acting as if undecided what to do 
with its victim it turned and proceeded 
down stream and again reversed its di- 
rection. By this time the deep shadows 
of the dark green foliage in the twilight 
had almost obliterated everything, near 
the surface of the river, from view. In 
a small canoe we paddled up the river 
a short distance trying to see where 
our game had gone, but it was too dark. 
Early in the morning I set out with 
two Malays to find the crocodile. First 
we paddled up the river looking under 
the overhanging nipa palms and among 
the mangroves with their mud covered 
roots; then out of the river along the 
sandy beach. We hunted along the 
shore for some distance north of the 
river and then I returned to camp, but 
sent two Malays south along the shore 
in a canoe and told them to look in all 
the little coves and streamlets for the 
buoy. An hour or so later they re- 
turned with the buoy, hook and line. 
They had seen the place on the sandy 
beach at the edge of the coral reef 
where the crocodile had dragged the body 
of the monkey out of the water. Bits 
of the rattan which attached the mon- 
key to the hook were strewn on the sand 
and by the marks left on the beach it 
was easy for the Malays to picture what 
had happened. All the fastenings had 
been broken, the bait devoured, the hook 
and line left on the shore. The croco- 
dile had eluded us. We were surprised 
but not discouraged. 
Later afternoon found the body of 
another monkey awaiting the arrival of 
the crocodile. The crocodile did not dis- 
appoint us in this respect, for he came 
and took the bait in the same manner 
as before. This time we had put the 
hook inside the bait, hoping that it 
would be overlooked and swallowed. 
Again we spent the early hours of 
the morning hunting for the buoy which 
we expected would be attached to our 
prize. We hunted in two parties from 
daybreak until about nine o’clock in the 
morning but found no trace of the buoy, 
hook or line. 
L ATER the same morning one of my 
natives told me that a crocodile 
could be seen out in the sea, some 
four or five hundred yards from the 
mouth of the river. Having failed to 
catch the animal I was after with hook 
and line and having lost the hook and
