EIPLORATION OF THE NV.E 'TRIBUTARIES OF
ABYSSINIA. By Sir S. W. BARER. 890.
Pp: COB. Hartford : 0. D. Case & Co.
large a degree of public interest and favor a
mong intelligent readers in Great Britain, as
this admirable record of scientific explora
tion, geograpical discovery, and personal ad
venture. The author, Sir Wit.u.ut BAKER,
is a wealthy English gentleman, an experi
enced ttaveller, an enthusiastic and skilful
hunter and explorer, who in lan i , in company
with his wife, left Cairo to 'explore the myste
ry which enshrouded the sources of the Nile.
A previous work of the author on the "Great
Basin of the Nile," gives a complete account
of the equatorial lake system from which the
famous Egyptian river derives its origin. It
a shown in that volume that the rainfall of
the equatotial districts supplies two vast lakes
of sufficient magnitude to support the Nile
throughout its entire course through the
burning sands of the desert until it reaches
PIIILADELPULA, PA
the Delta of Lower- Egypt. The presen
work is devoted to another system of tributa
ries, with an origin entirely separate from the
lake sources of Central Africa, and supplying
the water for the overflow on which the fer-
tility of Egypt depends. The portion of Af
rica which was explored by the authdr in the
course of his geographical researches in re
gard to the Abyssinian tributaries, is inhabited
by Christian and Mohammedan races, andif
fords abundant materials for a series of vivid
pictures which lend a peculiar charm to his
work, apart from its value and interest - in a
scientific point-of, view. Many of these de
scribe his sporting adventures, which he evi
dently pursued with the keen relish of a
British Nimrod. We annex a graphic de
scription of one of his early encounters with
a crocodile :
"A few days before our arrival, a man had
been snatched from the back of his camel
while crossing, and was carried off by a cro
codile. Another man had been taken during
the last week, while swimming the river upon
a log. It was supposed that these accidents
were due to the some crocodile, who was ac
customed to bask upon a mud blink at the
foot of the cotton plantation. On the day
following onr arrival at the Atbara, we found
that our camel-drivers had absconded during
the eight with their camels ; these were the
men who had been forced to serve by the
Governor of Cassia. There was no possibili
ty of proceeding for some days, therefore I
sent El Bagger across the river to endeavor
to engage camels, while I devoted myself to
a search for the crocodile. I shortly discov
ered that it was unfair in the extreme to
charge one psrticulartanimal with the death
of the two Arabs, as several large crocodiles
were lying upon the mud in various places.
A smaller one was lying asleep high and dry
upon the bank ; the wind was blowing strong,
o that, by carefully approaching, I secured a
good shot within thirty yards, and killed it
on the spot by a bullet through the head,
placed about an inch above the eyes.
• After some time, the large crocodiles which
had taken-to the water at the report of the
gun again appeared, and crawled slowly out
of the muddy river to their basking-places
upon the bank. A crocodile usually sleeps
with its mouth wide open ; I therefore waited
until the immense jaws of the nearest were
well expanded, showing a grand row of glit
tering teeth, when I crept carefully toward it
through the garden of thickly-planted cotton.
Bacheet and Wat Gamma followed in great
eagerness. In a short-time I arrived within
about forty yards of the beast, as it lay upon
a fiat mud bank formed by one of the numer
ous torrents that had carried down the soil
during the storm of yesterday. The cover
ceased, and it was impossible to approach
nearer without alarming the crocodile ; itwas
a fine specimen, apparently nineteen or twen
ty feet in length, and I took a steady shot
with the little Fletcher rifle at the temple, ex
actly in front of the point of union of the
head with the spine. The jaws clashed to
gether, and a convulsive start, followed by a
twitching of the tail, led me to suppose that .
sudden death had succeeded the shot; but
knowing the peculiar tenacity of life possess
ed by the crocodile, I fired another shot at the
shoulder, as the huge body lay so close to the
river's edge that the slightest struggle would
cause it to disappear. To my snprke, this
shot, far from producing a quietus, gave rise
to a series of extraordinary convulsive strug
gles. One moment it rolled upon its back,
lashed out right and left, • with its tail, and
ended by topping over into the river.
In a short time we saw the body of the
crocodile -appear belly upward, about fifty
yards down the stream ; the fore paws were
above the water, but alter rolling round sev
eral times it once more disappeared, rapidly
carried away by the muddy torrent. This
was quite enough for the Arabs, who had
been watching the event from the opposite
bank of the river, and the report quickly
spread that two crocodiles were killed, one of
which they declared to be the public enemy
that bad taken the men at the ferry, but upon
what evidence I cannot understand. Al
though my Arabs looked forward to a dinner
of crocodile flesh, I was obliged to search
for something of rather milder flavor for our
selves. I waited for about an hour, while the
flist crocodile was being divided, when I took
a shot gun and succeeded in killing three
geese, and a species of antelope no larger
than a hare, known by the Arabs as the Dik-
dik (Nanotragua Hempriehianus.) Thlc.
little cfeataare inhabits thick bush. Since my
return to England, I have seen 'a good sped
men in the Zoologlcal Gardens otthe Re
gent's Park.
Upon my 'arrival at the tents, I found the
camp redolent of musk from the flesh of the
arocodile, and the people were quarreling for
the musk glands, which they had extracted,
'end which are much prized by the Ara,lk wo
men, who wear them strung like baupon

Throughbut the Atbara, crocodiles are ex
tremely mischievous and bold ; this can be
accounted for by the constant presence of
Arabs and their flocks, which the crocodiles
have ceased to fear, as they exact a heavy
tribute iu their frequent passages of the river.
The Arabs asserted that the dark-colored,
'thick-bodied species is more . to be dreaded
than the ritber.
The common belief that the scales of a aro
cosine will stop a bullet is very erroneous. If
a rifle is loaded with the moderate charge of
two and a half draclims, it will throw are
ounce ball through the scales of the hardest
portion of the back ; but were the scales struck
obliquely, the bullet might possibly glance
from the surfact, as in like manner it would
ricochet from the surface of water. The cro
codile is so difficult to kill outright, that peo
ple are apt to imagine that the scales have
resisted their bullets. The only shots that
will produce instant death are those that strike
the brain, or the spine through the neck. A
shot tbroogh the shoulder is fatal, bat as the
body immediately sinks, and does not re-ap
pear upon the surface until the gases have dis
tended the carcass, the game is generally car
ried away by the stream before it ha's had time
to float. The body of a crocodile requires
from twelve to eighteen hours before it will
rise to the surface, while that of the bippopo.
tamus will never remain longer than two hours
beneath the water, and will generally rise in
an hour ands half after death. This differ
ence in time depends upon the depth and tem
perature; in deep holes of the river from thir
ty to fifty feet deep the water is much cooler
near the bottom ; hence the gas is not gene
rated in the body so quickly as in shallow and
warmer water. The crocodile is not a grass
feeder; therefore the stomach is comparative
ly small, and the contents do not generate the
amount of gas, that so quickly distends the
huge stomach of the hippopotamus ; thus the
body of the former requires a longer period
before it will rise to the surface."
We mast make room for the author's ac
count of his successful renconter with a veter
an hippopotamus, with his excellent descrip
tion of the habits of that strange aquatic
monster :
"After walking about two miles, we noticed a
herd of hlßpopotami in a pool below a rap
id : this was surronded by rocks, except one
side where the rush of water had thrown up
a bank of pebbles and sand. Our old Neptune
did not condescend to bestow the slightest at
tention when I pointed out these animals ;
they were too wide awake; but he immedi
ately quitted the river's bed, and we followed
him quietly behind the fringe of bushes upon
the border, from which we carefully examin
ed the water. About half a mile below this
spot, as we clambered over the Intervening
rocks through a gorge which formed a pow
erful rapid, I observed in a small pool just
below the rapid, an immense head of a hippo
potamus close to a perpendicular rock that
formed a wall to the river, about six feet
above the surface. I pointed out the hippo to
61d Abou Do, who had not seen it. At once
the gravity of the old Arab disappeared, and
the energy of the hunter was exhibited as he
motioned us to remain, while he ran nimbly
behind the thick screen of bushes for about a
hundred and fifty yards below the spot where
the hippo was unconsciously basking, with
hiilugly head above the surface. Plunging
into the rapid torrent, the. veteran hun
ter was carried some distance down the
stream, bat breasting the powerful current, he
landed upon the rocks on the opposite side,
and retiring to some distance from -the river,
he quickly advanced toward the'spot beneath
which the hippopotamus was lying. I had a
fine view of the scene, as I was lying con
cealed exactly oppositethe hippo, which had
now disappeared beneath the water. Abou Do
stealthily approached the edge of the rock
beneath which he_ had expected to see the
head of the animal ; his long sinewy arm
was raised, with the harpoon ready to strike,
as he carefully advanced. At length he
reached the edge of the perpendicular rock ;
the hippo bad vanished, but far from exhibi
ting surprise, the old Arab remained standing
on the sharp ledge, unchanged in attitude.
No figure of bronze could have been more
rigid than that of the old river-king as he stood
erect upon the rock with the left foot advanc
ed, and the harpoon poised in his ready right
hand above his head, while in the left he held
the loose coils of rope attached to the am
batch buoy. For_ about three minutes he
stood like a statue, gazing intently into the
clear and d ( eep water beneath his feet. I
watched eagerly for the reappearance of the
hippo; the surface of the water was still bar
ren, when suddenly the right arm of the stat
ue decended like lightning and the harpoon
shot perpendicularly into.the pool with the
speed of an arrow. :What river fiend answer
ed to the summons ? In an instant an enor
mous pair of open jaws appeared, followed
by the ungainly head and form of the furious
hippopotamus, that springing half out of the
water, lashed the river into foam, and dis
daining the conceal rent of the deep pool,
charged straight up the violent, rapids.—
With extraordinary power he breaited the
descending stream; gaining a footing in the
rapids, about five feet deep, he plowed his
way against the broken waves, sending therd
in showers of spray upon all sides, and upon
gaining broader shallows he tore along
through the water with the buoyant float
hopping behind him along the surface until
he landed from the river, started at full gal
lop along the dry shingly bed, and at . length
disappeared in the thorny nabbnk jungle.
I never could have imagined that to un
wieldy an animal could have exhibited
.such
speed ; no man would have bad a chance of
escape, and it was fortunate for our old Ifep
tune that he was secure upon the high ledge
of the rock, for if he had been in the path; of
the infuriated beast, there would have been
an end of Abou Do. The old man plunged
into the deep pool just quitted by the hippo,
and landed on our side ; while in the enthrr
skarn of the moment I waved my cap above
' my head, and gave him a British. cheer as he
reached the shore. His usually stern fea
tures relaxed into a grim smile of delight:
this was one of those momenta when the
gratified - pride of the hunter rewards him for
any risks: I congratulated him upon his dex
terity ; but much , remained to be done. I
,proposed' to cross the river and to follow
'upon the tracks of the hippopotamus, as I
imagined that the buoy and rope would 'catch
'in the thick jungle, and that we we should
find him entangled in the bush ; but the old '
hunter gently laid his hand upon my arm and
pointed up the bed of the river, explaining
that the hippo would eeztainly return to the
water after s short interval.
In a few ndnntee later, at a distance of
nearly half a mile, we obverted thl hippo

to the bed of the river, making deed for the
first rocky pool in which we bed noticed the
herd of hippopotami. . Aergeopoel by the

This afforded me a good chance, and I Breda

The crack of the ball awl the absence or any
splash from the bullet told me that he was
hit ; the =batch float remained some. min
utes; it never moved. Several heads of hip
popotami approached and vanished In diffe
rent directions, but the float was still; It
marked the spot where the grand old buil lay
dead beneath.
I allot anether hippo, that I thought must be
likewise dead ; and, taking the time by my
watch, I retired to the shade? of a tree with
Hassan, While HAWAII and the old hunter
returned to camp for assistance in men and
knives, &c.
la a littlp more than au boor And f half
two objects like the backs of turtles appeared
above the aurfac"; these were the flasks of
the Iwo hippos. A. short time afterward the '
men arrived, and regardless of crocodiles they
swam toward the bodies. One was tatted
directly to the shore by the rope slttached to
the harpoon, the other was •ecared by a long
line and dragged to the bank of clean peb
bles.
I measured the bull that was hapooned ; it
was fourteen feet two inches from-the upper
lip to the extremity of the tail; the• head was
three feet one inch from the front of the ea
to the edge of the lip in a straight line. The
harpoon was sticking in the nape of the
neck, having penetrated *bunt two and t.half
inches beneath the hide; thigh about se inch
and a-half and three-quarters thick Upon the
back of the beck of a bull hipopotamas. It
was a magnificent specimen, with the lord
tusks I have ever seen ; the skull is nenttn my
hall in England.
Although the hippopotamus is generally
harmless, the solitary old bulls are sometimes
extremely vicious, especially when in the
water. 1 have frequently kncritu them
charge a boat, and I have myself narrowly
escaped being upset in a canoe by the ,attack
of these creatures, without the slightest pro
vocation. The females are extremely shy
and harmless, and they are most affectionate
mothers; the only instances I have known of
the female attacking a man have been those
in which her calf had been stolen. To the
Arabs they are extremely valuable, yielding,
in addition to a large quantity of excellent
flesh, about two hundred pounds of fat, and a
hide that will produce about two hundred
coorbatches, or carnel-wips. I have never
shot these useful creatures to waste; every
morsel of the flesh has been stored either by
the natives or for our own use; and when
ever we have had a good supply of antelope
or giraffe meat, I have avoided firing a shot
at the hippo. Elephant flesh is exceedingly
strong and disagreeable, partaking highly of
the peculiar smell of the animal. We had
now a good supply of meat from the. two
hippopotami, which delighted our people.
The old Abon Do claimed the ball that he
had harpooned, as his own private properity,
and he took the greatest pains in dividing the
hide Jaingitudinally, in strips of the width of
three fingers, which he cut with great dexteri
tt.
Although the hippopotamus is amphibious,
he requires a large and constant supply of air ;
the lungs are of enormous size, and be in
variably inflates them before diving. From
five to eight. minntesis the time that he usu
ally remains under water ; he then comes to
the surface, and expends the air within his
lungs by blowing ;he again re-fills the lungs
almost instantaneously, and if frightened he
sinks immediately. In places where they
have become extremely shy from being hunt
ed or fired at, they seldom expose the head
above the surface, but merely protrude the
nose to breathe through the nostril's; it is
then impossible to shoot them. Their food
consists of aquatic plants, and grasses of many
descriptions. Not only do they visit the mar
gin of the river, but they wander at night to
great distances from the water if attracted by
good pasturage, and although clumsy and un
gainly in appearance, they clamber the, steep
banks and precipitous ravines with, astonish
ing power and ease. In places where they
are perfectly undisturbed, they not only enjoy
themselves in the sun-shine by baaking, half
asleep upon the surface of the water, but they
lie upon the shore beneath the shady trees up
on the river's bank ; I have seen them, when
disturbed by our sudden arrival during the
march, take a leap from a bank about twenty
feet perpendicular depth into the water below,
with a splash that created waves lit the quiet
pool as though a paddle-steamer had passed
by. The Arabs attached no _value to the
tusks ; these are far more valuable than. ele
phant ivory, and are used by dentists in Eu
rope for the manufacture of false teeth,. for
which 'they are admirably adapted, as they do
not change color. Not wishing to destspy the
remaining hippopotami that were still with
in the pool, I left my men and old Ahon Do
busily engaged in arranging the meat, and
walkedquietly homeward."
