ON THE TRAIL OF THE PYGMY HIPPO. 
Continued from page 664. 
only a few days before Tawe Dadwe told me: 
“It is impossible to catch a mwe. It has never 
been done, and they have only been shot after 
they have been caught in the pits. They are 
too dangerous. Many a hunter has been killed. 
You white men know a lot, but here you are 
trying something that is impossible.” 
Early the next morning I reached the place. 
Before night a fence had been built around the 
hole, and the animal was let out. It was a beau¬ 
tiful full-grown bull, in the prime of his life. 
Nothing succeeds like success. Six days 
after that the second one was caught, this time 
a two-year-old cow. A week later the third, a 
young three-quarter-grown bull was taken. Now 
I had three animals at three different places. 
Mecca, where the little cow was caught, I de¬ 
cided should be my central collecting station, 
and we started to bring the animals there. 
Now the real trouble commenced. The 
Golah people refused to carry them. For the 
big animals I needed at least forty men each to 
cut roads and carry. 
Had it not been for the unselfish assistance 
I had from the Liberian Government, which had 
appointed me major on the geographical staff, 
I never would have been able to bring my ex¬ 
pedition to a satisfactory end. 
Nobody can imagine the enormous difficulties 
of the transport of those heavy animals, which 
we had to carry in self-invented native-made 
baskets, through the roadless hinterland of Li¬ 
beria. From the furthest place inland, where I 
caught three animals, it took me, even after the 
men had cut the roads, twelve days to reach the 
first river on which I could use boat transport 
to the coast. 
A native king, Gongzoo, had, on the promise 
of a big present, promised carriers for the first 
animal caught in his district, but when I asked 
for the men, he point blank refused. By that 
time I had put the hippo in a basket and had 
brought it with my own carriers under the most 
frightful difficulties to his town. It was a matter 
of getting men from him or standing the chance 
of losing my hard-won animal. 
I tried a bluff, with only my sergeant for 
support. I arrested the chief in the middle of 
his own town, kept him in front of my revolver, 
loaded all my guns, put them before me on the 
table, and declared war, provided the men were 
not forthcoming within two hours. It succeeded. 
When the people saw their king a prisoner, the 
men came. What would have happened if they 
had accepted my challenge I do not know. 
After I had got the first three animals to my 
central station and handed them over into the 
charge of one of Hagenbeck's most experienced 
North Carolina.
