actually survived, although about three or four were darted, 
Criticism was made of the animal husbandry side as well as of 
the darting. Apparantly from records John and Tony moved 42 
rhinos with a loss of one, Although John is difficult to work

and I do shope that soon we can send you that cable. With 
best wishes from us all here,
