in a moment goes every head; but never a glance is 
vouchsafed at the immediate disturber of their peace, 
nor in his ultimate direction. Their united gaze is con¬ 
centrated towards the point 
ivhence he had come , and 
precisely where there now 
lies a mind-tormented hun¬ 
ter. Again, in advancing on 
one group of game, the 
stalker may elect to take 
what appears a safe risk by 
exposing himself—maybe but 
for a few yards—to the view 
of other game far more dis¬ 
tant, possibly half - a - mile 
away. But should these 
latter detect his movement, 
they will at once—by stand¬ 
ing at gaze—signal to all 
within view the presence of 
danger. The nearer game G p lEY loury. 
—the objects of pursuit— 
though absolutely out of sight of the stalker lying 
prone in the grass, at once cease grazing or resting, 
and assume the alert. Their gaze is directed—not to¬ 
wards an invisible foe, but towards the watching sentinels 
beyond, which had given the alarm, and on whose acute 
senses they are content to rely for their own protection. 
Should, however, that distant group, relying partly on 
their own remoteness, but more largely on the fact that 
since that one alarming glimpse they have seen nothing 
more—for during the subsequent half-hour the detected 
stalker has lain motionless, careless alike of biting ants, 
spiky thorns and sunstroke—should they either recom¬ 
mence feeding or begin slowly to move away, then the 
nearer game will also forget their fears and the stalk is 
resumed.
