THURSDAY APRIL 28. 1892- I was walkiig through my lands and A had my gun with me, and the baboons i) were screaming on the top of the rocky u precipice that overhangs my homestead. The dogs in the farmyard on hearing the nolse the baboons were making rushed up to the mountain, an were soon engaged with them in deadly fight. I took up my gun and climbed up the mountain for the purpose of assistingr the dogs, and in the hope of saving.r them from being torn to pieces. When I arrived at the summit of the krantz a number of baboons fled. I fired and wounded one in the shoulder, he was immediately followed and tackled ‘by the only dogs left, the others having been torn to pieces. The struggle for life or death was taking place between the wounded baboon and the dog on the very brink of the precipiCe. I had not another cartridge for my gun, so I put it down and picked up a couple of large stones, and walked to within a few yards of the. spot. I was just in the act- of hurling one of them at the baboon when suddenly a tremendous male baboon. the largest I have seen, came at me in a bold and defiant manner, his eyes gleaming with anger and rage; and his huge jaws Work- ing together as if in anticipation of the crunching that was in store for me. I had just time to hurl the stone in my upraised hand at him when he was upon me. He ‘ seized me by the leg first, and bit me with , such violence that I thought every bone 3 in my leg was broken to atoms. I kicked with all my might, I tried to get hold of r a stone, I attempted to seize him by the throat, dealt him several blows with my I fist, but it was all useless ; the strength of ' this enraged African mandril overpowered - and mastered me completely. h.fl0.fl:h” g: 5 r‘!‘ 'l ‘L- a LAK.N\VAV\‘ ...V v . After he had finished with my leg he raised himself on his hind legs, put his arm around me. and seized hold of me on the chest with his powerful jaws. What could I do 1 Every now and then he let go of my breast and snapped at my throat. I seized him by the throat With my right hand and clinched my fingers, but he would not would not yield his grasp for a. single mement. Every time I moved he dragged me nearer to the edge of the precipice, and we were now within three How to Select a Bull. ierce Fight With a Baboon. feet of thebrink, and the ground sloping i down to it; I knew that if for a moment I 1 lost my footing down we should go into i the chasm below. The wounded baboon and the dog, that were responsible for the awful predlcament in which I found myself had just rolled over into the abyss. We had been at it nearly an hcur, and as the baboon showed no signs of releasing me, I felt I should not be able to hold out much longer. as I am an old man, con- siderable over sixty. At this stage I be- thought myself of a penknife I had in my waistcoat pocket. If I could only get it out, I might ward him off by stabbing him in the face. I gradually got my left hand , into my pocket and got the knife out, the ‘ brute scratching and tearing my face with his hands all the while. I got it into my mouth. and held it there till I had an op- portunity of opening it with my left hand. I then began stabbing and prodding him, but the knife was not large enough to do him much damage. I drew blood however the sight of which only made him more vicious still. By this time I had scarcely a. yestigo of clothing left and my lacerated body bore tokens of what a South African baboon can do When he chooses to tackle and fight an unarmed man. I was wondering how all this was going to end, when one of the dogs who had been wounded in the fight, and which had recovered sufficiently to make his way to where we were, seized the animal from behind. I felt the brute wished to get at the dog. He threw him- ’ self from me upon the dog; they had one ; rough-and-tumble, and then the baboon walked silently away along the ridge of the precipice, looking back from time to time as if undecided whether it should renew the attack. It was some time beâ€" fore I could recover sufficient strength» to descend the mountain. I got home, how- ever, and the dog, too. after an encounter such as I shall never forget, and the like of which I hope never to experience again.
