Woman Hunter in Brazil. 
Capt. C. R. G. BELL, of the Quartermaster- 
General’s Department of the British Army, and 
three other military friends, with Mrs. Bell and 
Miss Tennant, have just returned from a ten 
weeks’ hunting trip in Brazil. The party are 
taking back with them as trophies a number of 
rare birds, which they had stuffed in Rio, and 
the skins of many wild animals of the Brazilian 
forests. Mrs. Bell is a good shot and has trav- 
eled with her husband in many parts of the world 
where. the best sport is to be had. In describing 
some of her recent hunting experiences she said: 
“Many will think, no doubt, that such an out- 
ing as Miss Tennant and I undertook was ex- 
tremely hazardous for women—and it was. We 
had naturally to put up with a great number of 
hardships, but past experiences had taught us 
what to expect and we were pretty well prepared 
for the ‘trip. I have fortunately a strong con- 
stitution, and such things as nerves I know noth- 
ing of. Besides, we had four men in the party to 
help look after us. 
“I have been on numerous hunting trips with 
my husband. Some of them were delightful, and 
some extremely dangerous and unpleasant to me. 
Of all the expeditions I’ve ever undertaken, how- 
ever, this last one to Brazil was in many ways 
the most dangerous and uncomfortable, chiefly on 
account of the intense heat and the large num- 
ber of snakes we encountered. We traveled for 
200 miles west along the Amazon River, starting 
from Obidos. The temperature often soared sev- 
eral degrees above the hundred mark, even in 
the tree shade, and the route through which we 
traveled was infested with every species of snake. 
Indeed, so numerous were the horrible creatures 
that we were compelled to keep our tents en- 
circled with live electric wires in order to pre- 
vent them from entering. Often in the morning 
when we woke up we would find a dozen or more 
snakes lying dead around our tents, the live wires 
having killed them. Two of the men folks al- 
ways ‘remained awake at night, with loaded rifles, 
to guard against intruders. I didn’t enjoy a com- 
fortable night’s sieep all the time I was in that 
fearful country. The jungles of India and Africa 
are pretty much alive with snakes and almost 
every other vile thing that creeps or crawls, but 
the forests of Brazil easily surpass them for that 
sort of thing. My husband, however, enjoyed 
himself immensely, and intends going into the 
heart of Brazil in the near future. 
“Notwithstanding the oppressive heat and 
the snakes,” she added, “I got excellent sport. I 
managed to club more than a score of snakes 
myself, shoot four wildcats, one puma and many 
beautiful birds. My friend, Miss Tennant, was 
equally successful.”
