A 1908 classic African Safari!
Excerpts:
"For half-an-hour the sportsman awaited on the platform any signs of life in the bushes, but detecting no movement, he descended from his perch."
“He had hardly reached terra firma, however, before the wounded lion burst out of the scrub and struck the hunter a blow with his paw which tore the flesh off his arm to the bone. The hunter was knocked to the ground, and the lion, which was evidently growing weaker, rolled over on the grass and then dragged itself back into the bush..."
------------------------------------
"The descent into the intervening gorge and the passage thereof were of the roughest—broken rocks all intercepted with dongas and terrible brushwood..."
"Though so near, we could not distinguish the position of the beast—it was merely the indication of a dark mass that we saw; and for several trying minutes we stood, nervous lest some fickle puff of air might betray us.. When some twenty yards away, and already nearly full broadside, my foot in backing touched a stone, and round came that huge head instantly, the broad, tufted ears deflecting to catch the slightest sound. It appeared as fair a chance as was likely to occur..."
