When he completes his South Africa tour he will have travelled oe than a hundred thousand miles broad. On his first Canadian tour, teenie his visit to the United States, he travelled nearly fourteen}. thousand miles, -on~ his Australian} tour he travelled over forty thousand miles, on his Indian tour he covered thirty thousand miles, and on his contemplated trip will travel at least twenty thousand miles, perhaps a great deal more. This does not take into account his 1923 trip to Canada. He will travel to South Africa on a passenger steamer, and his tour will take him from Cape Town to Victoria Falls and he will hunt in the Afri- can jungles.
