(bund oa a clunter of riaaa On do#*
examination tta unmlotakabla hair of
tta gorilla wan found oa a broken
twig. After noma bourn wa found the
tree where tta gorilla llrad. Wa could
toll It bjr tta grnaajr appearance of
tta bark, made no br tta repented
rubbing of tta gorilla'* body. Wa
could tall by tta freak mark*, with
nap ntlll wet. that tta animal had re-
cently aacanded the tree. Tta
aeratc.be* war* nbort and deep, abow-
fng that It bad lifted llaelf up and
not nlld down, which would bar* mad*
a long, shallow scratch.
“Wa spread a strong net around tta
trea In n circle sloping upward on
tta outer aide. Around the top of tta
net there war* drawn rope* from four
directions held by half a doaea na-
tives hidden In tta buah. These were
to bring tta top of tta net together,
and thus bag our gam*.
“After waiting some hours the
leaven above rustled and than opened
aa a als-foot male gorilla descended
unsuspectingly and eat*rod the trap.
I signaled, tta four ropes were pulled
at once, and we had our animal—tor
a moment. H* roared In fury, tsrtst-
lag. jumping and biting the rope Into
places. The natives ware pulled about
Ilka dolls as ta tried to reach llrst one
and -then another. The professor
Jumped nbout In excitement. trying to
focus n camera on the Infuriated ani-
mal.
"At laat the mighty arma of tta go-
rilla broke a hole through tta net and
he tor* the rest from him as though
It were a rotten rag. Moot of tta na-
tives tad la dismay. The professor
dropped his camera and tried to es-
cape; lo a moment the gorilla grasped
him In Its terrible hands.
“I slesel my rifle and Bred In tta
air to frighten the anlMl. In my po-
sition I could not shoot at him without
hitting my friend. For a moment tta
gorilla stood still holding tta now un-
conscious man as though be w«* a
baby, the brute's lips drasm back from
his glistening teeth. I thrust another
cartridge In my rifle. As I did so
there was a buss In the air and aa ar-
row shot by a native pierced the go-
rilla's side. A roar burst from his red
throat and he dropped his victim. Like
a flash, before I could shoot, a native
sprang from the leaves, and, half
throwing, half thrusting, drove aa as-
segai Into the gorilla's heart. With a
groan the brute fell dead.
“Examining the professor, I found
that his right arm waa broken and
that some of hla riba were crushed
Into his lungs. We gave up the ef-
fort to get a live gorilla, and, placing
the Injured man In a hammock, car-
ried him back toward the east coast.
He died on the road. Out on the veldt
beside a native village a lonely little
slob marked ‘Carl Bloch' sticks up
above the grass. Hunting Is not all
exciting adventure and laughing vic-
tory. It has tears. llTre ether things.
