British Officer Shot Two Dead and the Third, Wounded Fat- ally Savagely Attacked Him ~--A Memorable Event. 1 The Dally Graphic publishes the fol- lowing: A correspondent at Nairobl, cer from a lion. _ Capt. C. 8. Stigand of the West Kent Regiment, and now seconded under of the King's African Rifles, had pre- viously won. fame as a "Chichari" in British Central Africa, where he shot many varieties of game, On the transference of his native regiment to East Africa he decided to essay his skill at Simba, a lonely Sta- tion on the Uganda Railway, and long famous for the vicinity of lions. Some two hundred yards from the station a water tank marks the spoor where the lions drink very frequently by night, 'and on this tank Capt. Stigand took up his post a few minutes after dusk, in the brilliant light of an African moon. A long walt ensued, and it was not till many hours had -elapsed that a lioness made her appearance. Creeping stealthlly in rear of ' the tank, the brute made. its way to a pool close by, and at this moment Capt. Stigand fir- ed his first shot. The effort proved a successful one, for with a bound and a groan the beast dashed forward and fell 'shot through the heart, stretched at full length across the railway line. A short interval 'only had elapsed when a couple of lions emerged from the 'grass, evidently intent on their even- dng drink; but their 'progress' was checked by seeing the lioness a few yards from them, and they at dnoe proceeded to examine the body. One of them, evidently the mate, coamenc- ed scratching at the carcase, hoping the lioness was only asleep, and, meet- ing with no response, set up a dismal howl, which was quickly followed by a 'roar from the other. * For two hours Simba Station rang with the moaning and bellowing of these two fierce' beasts, and during that time Capt. Stigand lay ready at the "pre- sent." At length they quitted the dead lioness and came slowly toward the tank. The leading lion had ap- proached within fifteen yards when a well-directed shot caused him to bound in the midnight eir. This was at ohce followed by a second ball, and spinning round in his agony he reached the long grass, where he lay a huddled brown mass. . The other lion watched the scene without movement. In a trice the .256 Mannlicher was directed against him, and he was sent moaning into the cover, to be found lifeless in the early morning. Seeing the beasts apparently dead, Capt. Stigand descended from the tank and walked towards the huddled brown mass. He was only a few feet Off when the worst happened. The beast rose from the grass and sprang. With a mighty roar he leapt into the air and the whole surroundings seem- ed hidden by his massive frame. The sight' was truly a terrific one, Every hair in its body stood out, and every vein swelled with flerce anger. A shot was quickly fired, but this only ; in- creased the ferocity of the attack, and then came a scene, the like of which has rarely been enacted. The lion seiz- ed the left arm of the hunter, and man and beast rolled over together. With his right arm free the gallant soldier caught his assailant by the throat and, fighting for his life, he struck the brute several times. Once again they rolled over, the lion, for the moment, on top, and then the man, and the flerce fight went on. At last there was an unexpected lull, for the lion, sick and wounded unto death, savagely shook his victim, and then, to Capt. Stigand's amazement, slunk off. This encounter was not the first of Capt. Stigand's with wild beasts. Only a few months previously, while sia- tioned in British Central Africa, he was fiercely attacked by a rhinoceros, which tossed him several feet into the air, having pierced his chest some Inches, Leaving hid for dead the "rhino" made off, fully satisfied with the damage he had done. This at- tack, ecuriously enough, was made without provocation. Capt. 'Stigand lies 'in the Nairobi Hospital, where he 1s receiving unre- mitting attention, and where it is hop- ed he will recover from his terrible experience. All the thrée beasts were found dead at the break of 'ddwh on the following day. London's Enormous Trade. You get some idea of London's trade by moving through the tall warehouses of the docks, says The London Daily Mall, Consider a few figures. Thirty- six thousand tons of tea are stored here in a single year. In the vaults, with their twenty-eight miles of gang- way, can be stored one hundred thous- and pipes of wine. Two hundred and fifty thousand tons of wool. worth £20,600,000, arrive annually at the Port of London. Twenty thousand tons of tobacco are here in bond, valued at £9,000,000. There is accommodation in the cold storage warehouses for eight hundred and sixty-four thousand sheep. Sixty thousand pounds of os- trich feathers have been stored here at one time, and several millions of bird-skins arrive annually, too numer- ous for computation. In addition, the London Docks have accommodation for sugar, iyory, spices, bark, ' gums, metals, marble, drugs, dates, pepper, coffee, cocoa, fsinglass, coal, grain, furniture, 'wood, ' timber, car- pets, butter, cheede, poultry, even for sea-shells, sponges, musk, ambergris, and beeswax! In a single room you may look at elephants' tusks worth nearly a hundred thousand pounds, Rhymeless Words. : There are about sixty words in Eng- lish that have no rhyme.
