They then turned and formed in two separate detachments, standing thick together; but two wicked old cows that had calves stood far out from the others, with their heads turned to us, ready to charge whatever might approach. I saw that it was extremely dangerous to attack them; but the sun was now fast sinking behind a shoulder of the mountains, so I resolved to defy all chances and enter the cover. I first, however, fired two shots at the elephants that formed the advanced pickets; both cows got it in the ribs, and, finding themselves wounded, retreated to the main body, where they stood smashing the trees with rage, and, catching up volumes of the red dust with thoir tiunks, threw it in, clouds above their backs. Mutchuisho and I now deooended into the jungle, aad crept stealthily along, listening for the breathing of the elephants. They had moved to the lower side, and were standing thick together within one hundred yards of the outside. On ascertaining their position, we emerged from the cover, and followed along the outside until we were opposite them. I then stalked in within twenty yards, and fired at the side of the head of the elephant that stood next to me; and before the smoke had cleared, my back was to them, and I was running for the outside of the cover at my utmost speed. The elephants held their ground; so, having loaded, I again drew near, and fired sharp right and left into another, and, turning my back, ran for it once more. Re-entering the cover a third time, 1 was listening which way they had gone, when, casting my eyes to the left, a noble elephant lay dead before me. The ball had penetrated to her brain, and...

Excerpt from A Hunter's Life Among Lions, Elephants, and Other Wild Animals of South Africa Mr. Roualeyn Gordon Gumming, the Nimrod of modern times, is a native of Scotland, and connected with the noble family of Argyll. His passion for the chase seems to have developed itself very early in youth, for long before he went to Eton to complete his studies, his room was a museum of hunting trophies. In the county of Moray, in the western part of Scotland, where his boyhood was spent, he was soon noted for his indefatigable devotion to the sports of the field, and his fondness for natural history. "Salmon-fishing and deer-stalking," he says, "were my favorite amusements; and during these early wanderings by wood and stream, the strong love of sport and admiration of nature in her wildest and most attractive forms, became with me an all-absorbing feeling, and my greatest possible enjoyment was to pass whole days, and many a summer night in solitude, where, undisturbed, I might contemplate the silent grandeur of the forest and the ever-varying beauty of the scenes around." After completing his studies at Eton, he entered the Indian army, and was attached to the Madras Light Cavalry. Sailing in 1839 to join his regiment, he touched at the Cape of Good Hope on the voyage out, and there made his first essays in that field wherein he has since become so famous.
