Dragged From His Bed by the Fierce Monster, He V/as Mangled and Gashed and Carried Off Bodily by the Brute. The following description of an at- fack by a lion, as related to Mr. St. Michael Podmore, FF, Z. 8, while he was returning from a sojourn in the wild places of the earth, is so terribly realistic that we offer no apology for printing it. Mr. Podmore met the hero of this story while on a trip ncross the Pacific ocean and was shown the terrible scars on the man's body: I was engaged on the transconti- nental Cape to Cairo line, and our gang consisted of two white men and fifty blacks. We each occupied a sep- arate hut, One dark night I was aroused from sleep by hearing something moving backward and forward beneath my bed. Becoming alarmed, I listened breathlessly to a loud, long and inde- scribable snhiffgniff which broke the stillness of the night. My experience of Africa was not extensive, but 1 instanty realized that some wild ani- mal was under my bed. Every one of my faculties became immediately par- alyzed with borror. I was unable to utter a sound. After a moment or two I became aware that a man eating lion was sniff- ing his way along the edges of the bed, perbaps a little puzzled at the mosquito curtains. I then felt 1 must do something, and instinctively, yet noiselessly, 1 huddled all the plllows and bedciothes over my head No sooner had 1 done this than the lion, with a borrible pur, grabbed me by the right shoulder and dragged me out on to the ficor and imunediately began suck the blood which streamed down my neck and chest, and every time I moved he bit me more savagely. As 1 raised my knees to get into a crouching, protective position he gave me a little pat with his paw which nearly broke my leg and inflicted a dreadful wound. Then suddenly the monster dropped me out of his mouth, piaced one massive paw on my chest, and then throwing back his noble head, be gave four terrible roars of trinmph and deflance My chum walked round the hut and then saw with horror the hole made by lon, who had torn out the mat walls and crawled under my bed Then it dawned upon him what had bappened, so he ran round to the other and kicked the door down All this time the only thing I seemed to take interest in was the loud sip- ping suck, suck, made by the lion as drew into reeking I remsembered, with a pang of regret, that I had not lived a mode! life recently, and I began to pray as 1 had never prayed before. As I prayed I thought how curious it was that 1 did not the slightest sense of pain with a man eating lion chewing my flesh and drinking my blood. I had been lying on my back, with my neck and head resting against the side of the hut, when my friend smashed the door. As he did so the lion drove his terrible fangs into my right groin and leaped out of the hut into the darkness. As he ran with me he seemed to be twisting and jerking me round sideways, as though striving to get me on his back. The lion ran across the clearing with me for about thirty yards and put me down under a big boabab tree. 1 lay on my back with the lion on top of me, occasionally gazing with his great luminous, greenish yellow eyes, which filled me with unutterable loath- ing, so expressionless and cold were they, yet so diabolical in their ruth- less cruelty. The lion seemed perfectly content with his prey. I felt his long, rough tongue scraping up my thighs and ab domen, and as it crept higher and higher 1 felt little gusts of his hor- rible breath. I half turned my head away, but still the long, greedy tongue worked its way toward my throat. I could distinctly feel each bite, because, although it did not cause the slightest pain, yet as the fearful fangs were driven into a fresh place 1 was con- scious of a strange numbness in that particular part, During all this time the negroes kept screaming, “Nkanga, nkanga!” My friend kept running round the clearing in utter bewilderment. The appalling blackness of the night added horror to the thing which no pen could de- scribe. At last two negroes were induced to make a couple of torches of dry grass, and by the lurid and uncertain light of these the lion was seen sta over enor. to 3 the side he blood his my jaws feel out, “Keep cool, Jack, and 1 what I can do for you!” As he crept nearer the lion The Pink Label.
