man who fishes for fish regardless of 
conditions, and the 
man who fishes for 
fish and fun.

tween us was but a matter of a few seconds to 
him. Pie came on, growling, and nobody knows, 
except those who have been face to face with a 
similar situation, how terrifying is the lion’s 
growl when he is charging. I held back for a 
space, not daring to fire at once, but waiting 
until he was within .fifty or sixty yards of me, 
when I let him have it. Had I not been so con¬ 
fident that I should get him, I should have waited 
until he was practically on my barrels—especially 
as the only .450 cartridges that I knew I had 
were in my rifle, those in my breast pockets 
being all .350. 
My first shot missed his shoulder by a few 
inches only. I did not wait, but fired again on 
the instant, and this time I hit him. Unluckily, 
it was only a flesh wound, and not a telling shot 
—the bullet went through the muscle of his 
shoulder, but did not touch any bone—and of 
course it did not stop him. 
My position was now desperate. The lion was 
but a few yards away, and there was little time 
for thought. I swung hurriedly round to see if 
I could see anything of my first gunbearer (the 
other one only had a 12-bore shotgun with him), 
but he was not in sight. Evidently he had obeyed 
the instructions he had received, and stood his 
ground as he was told. 
To run was hopeless and useless; the lion 
would have caught me in fifty yards. I had no 
more cartridges, so there was nothing for it 
but to face the onrushing beast, by this time 
within twenty yards of me, and hope for the 
best. I grasped my rifle tightly by the stock, 
meaning to hit him as hard as I could when he 
got up. It was, of course, a flash of time be¬ 
fore he reached me, though it seemed longer 
waiting there, and an extraordinary and over¬ 
whelming sensation of physical fear gripped me 
as I stood. My arms seemed completely para¬ 
lyzed, and I stared, fascinated, at the nearing 
lion, feeling quite helpless and empty of fight, 
every scrap of courage having run out of me. 
So I waited until he was within two yards of 
me. He was making straight for my shoulders 
and neck, and suddenly, as I felt his hot pres¬ 
ence upon me, the tension on my arms relaxed, 
and my strength came back to me to help me to 
fight for my life. 
I hit him with all my force across the side of 
his head with the steel barrels. My blow did 
not turn him aside completely. Instead, he 
ducked and caught hold of my right leg in his 
mouth, and down we went together. My head 
and shoulders were pinned down beneath his 
body, my head being quite close to his hind legs. 
All the time I clung tightly on to my rifle. 
The lion then picked me up by my leg and 
slung me, first one way and then another. Then 
he shook me like a rat. I felt that I was a dead 
man. Chance of escape there was none, and 
such mortal fear had seized me that all other 
feeling seemed to have left me. I felt no pain 
at all, except when he actually put his teeth right 
into me. I felt rather like a man who was being 
kicked lightly on the shins—that was all. 
After a minute or so I heard my gunbearer’s 
voice over my shoulder, speaking to me as I lay 
under the lion. He was telling me, in his dia¬ 
lect, that he did not know how to fire the rifle 
he was holding, the safety bolt being turned over. 
I told him to hand the rifle to me, and then I 
found that the weight of the lion pressing on 
me prevented me dropping my own rifle which I 
still held with my right hand, so I had to strug¬ 
gle to turn the bolt for him with my left. This 
I at last managed to do. and the “boy,” with¬ 
out waiting to put the rifle to his shoulder, im¬ 
mediately fired straight in through the ribs of 
the lion. He evidently did not dare to take a 
shot further forward, for fear of killing me, as 
the beast was still busy with my leg. 
But this last dose was sufficient, though it did 
not kill, for the lion at once jumped off me and 
rolled a few yards to the right. Only half con¬ 
scious of what I was doing, I put my hand into 
my hip pocket, and, to my surprise, found that 
I had two .450 cartridges there. Instinctively I 
reloaded, and tried to get up that I might finish 
him. 
The great beast was not yet dead, but was still 
watching me closely, and the moment I tried to
