BUFFALO HUNTING IN SO UTII
AFRICA. ‘ .
Buffalo hunting at. the Cape is so totally
different. from the chase of the American hnt'
falo, that. perhaps an account. of' a day’s hunt.
and description of the Cape buffalo may not.
prove uninteresting. .
In the cool season of 1854 I journeyed. with
one companion, to hunt. upon the east coast of
Attica. Our starting point. was Natal, and
after twenty-eight. days (raking. we art-ived at
our ground. We encamped upon a. mountain
ous ridge, a spur of the grt-at Drakenh'izrgs or
Quathlamlta range of mountains; which t‘ujt
nearly across the whole continent from eastfito
west. From our lofty place of abode we could
mark the course of the Pongula river as it
flowed through the valley below. The -cenery
was beautiful: large undulatingdowna, dotted
with clumps of large and majestic trees, gave
an idea rather of an extensive park than a
wild and uninhabited country, so full of malaria,
and fever, that, even the natives. after vain
attempts to locate thrmselves, were Thin—filo fly»
from so unhealthy a. spot. Engaging the ser
viCe of twenty-four Knt‘tirs of the Amaswazu
tribe, we descended into the lower grounds, in
light marching order, leaving our European ser
vants, comp, wagons, Bm, 8.20., on the mountain.
Pitching a. small patrol Icm upon the bank of
a river, I left, the party, and accompanied by
two Kofiirs, snllied forth with the intention of
stalking buffalo. After a long walk. I sue
ceeded in getting within twenty yards of four
old bn‘tls; they stood facing me, evidently
alarmnd, but, as yet had not (IL-peeled my stealthy
approach. A
Smuding as they did, it was an awkward
shot; the immense mass of horn upon the
forehead sheaths it With a. coat. of mail; in
aiddition go which hulfolo carry their noSe-s
high, thus affording no sure mark when facing
the hunter. I aimed at the point of the shoulder
and fired; the ball (a. 2 021 one) told. I think
behind abush as the bull galloprd heavily away.
I started a Knfiir to keep him in sight, and it
was well'l oid so. Hostily reionding, I fol
lowed, end was joined by the Keflir, who re
ported that, oner proceeding in short. disrence,
the wounded anii'nai had proceeded sharp round
a. bush, upon Ihe edge of the genie-path.—
Cautiously advancing; I get. within eighty
yards; I sow my friend waiting eVidently with
the intention of charging whoever followed
him upon the path. There was no bush be
tween no, and not liking to approach nearer I
fired at. him ; the bullet hit again, but the dis
tance was was too great for tho ~shot“ to be
effect—nu]. He now moved slowly and suikily
off, followed at axre~pecleble distance by the
some intelligent native who had previously
spotted him. I found, upon advancing, ehe
Knflir watching a. small clump of bush, in
which the buffalo was reported to have taken
refuge. I desired him to advance with me and
point. him out; both anfirs declined acoompn~
nying me. alleging (he bnflalo was dangerous
and meant. mischief.
Sitting down to watch the hush. I dispatched
a messenger to the tent—almost. half a. mile
diatom—for the dogs). In emery short time the
dogs (six in number, and led in leashes) ar
rivexl. Cautiously entering the thicket, the
natives pointed out. a. dense mimoamt bush, in
which the butlolo was standing. Ic--uld merely
see the outlines of his figure: I could aim ntno
vital part; so, directing the Knflirs to slip the
dogs the moment; I fired, 1 took o hasty shot.
The eflect was electrical; the previous moment.
the most perfect. stillness reigned—all was si
lent; but. the. discharge had scarcely taken
place, when, with an angry roar, the buffalo
bore down upon us; the small bushes hemeen
were levelled in a moment, everything yield ng
to his strength and ponderous bulk. Form
nately the. Knfiirs did not (am they often (in)
lose their presence of mind—they elipped the
dogs; dashing at. him, his course was changed,
and I followed in order to administer another
dose; but so sudden and impeiuoue were his
attacks. that. afl ernorrowly escaping more than
once, I was thin to leave the covert nod watch
for a chance of a shot. outside. Presently he
broke corert, on the other side. and wentot‘f full
speed for the river. with the whole. prick of dogs
in full chase. I followed as lost. as I could.
Upon arriving at the river, I found him at. boy
the other side. I a-guin fired. but the distance
was about eighty yards—too for to kill. Tre'
mendously worried by the dogs, he repeatedly
took to the Water. making down the stream:—
I continued a warm firc lrom the opposite hunk
over ageing! the tent. Alter receiving many
balls, he swam across in the deep water t-o~
words me. I waited until he was within ten
yards of the Water’s edge, and fired. This shot;
proved fatal; his no’se sank beneath toe stream,
the waters of which were dyed with his blood;
while some of the dogs climbed upon his back,
biting his ears and worrying him to the last.
I certainly obtained this animal solely from
the exertions of the dogs. It. was highly ex
citing to see the battle in the water. The
staunch manner in which they stuck to him
was really wonderful, and excited my admira
tion not. a little. . -
To hunt. bufi'alo successfully, it- is necessary
the hunter should have a perfect knowledge of
their habits and modes of life; he should be
able to follow their spoor in the bush, to tell
how old it. is. whether the animal is alarmed
and moving rapidly, or is merely feeding as he
goes along. He should know where to‘ look
for them nt’difl'crent periods of the day. and,
when found, how to approach them, and above
all. when wounded, how‘to secure them. With
out this knowledge the Sportsman’s education
is incomplete, and besides want. of success. he
will find himself frequently in dangerous and
difficult. situations nnbh as would not occur to a i
t more accomplished‘bro’ther sportsman. '

The cows and your“! bufinloare to be found
in horde; the Old bulls are generally alone, or
perhaps in small hoops. from three to ten in
number. About. the time the rows attire, and
for weeks afterwards, the bulls remain with
the rest of the herd; they then separate, and,
Ihnugh they are Occasionally all found together,
they are more usually apart. The cows hide
their young in the thickest. and most. bushy

leading them forth at. night to feed. About.
sunset, when not much dist urhed, the herd may

strongest bulls separate from the ‘main body.
Very early in the morning is the best time
for homing. as they may then be found on the
plains, and may be intercepted on their return.
to the bush, and hunted on horseback. Some
times they return early to their favorite kloofl. .
It. is then necessary to follow the spear, obser

goring with his horns, I have known them to
break every bone in their victim’s Izody. With
well trained (logs you may follow boldly, as by
their incessant. barking you are made aware of
his exact. locale, and the attacks of' the dogs
occupy his attention sufficiently to allow of a
deliberate aim being taken; hut dogs should

out without. a. shot being obtained.
Buffaloes are greatly molested hy the swarms
of flies and myriads of ticks which always
accompany them. A very constant attendant
upon them is the email brown bird called by
the colonists the lick bird. 'lllls bll‘d is nlwaye
found in considerable numbers in the neighbor
hood of bnfi'aloes, and I have often noticed
them flying and screaming in great agitation
when we have approached their friends. I
believe they not unfrequently give the alarm,
which is followed by instantaneous flight.._ I
bud often heard the story, but. confess ‘I what

Such is the African buffalo; cu‘ming and

wounded and its passions roused, it is as dan

Press, just now, is “C. H. W.,” who, in onenf

the ecstasy of fried potaloe eating at Saratoga.
laké: .
‘ Before coming to Sorotogs, I encountered a
‘ young lady who had just completed the tour of
‘ Niagara Falls and the White Mountains. To
the question of what she hm] seen and found
worth mentioning during her travels, she ro
plied that. the fried potatoes at. Saratogo. lake
were delightful. In the course of an hour’s
conversation you could pump nothing from her
1 but. fried putato'ee. The same enthusiasm pre
vn‘ils with every one you meet. The livery
keeper urges you to have a. horse and ride or
drive to the lake, and his main argument. is
"fried potatoes.” The consequence isthutyou
look forward with pleasant. longiugs to the time
when you shall tnste those fried potatoes; you
reserve them as the closing bonne bouche of your
visit. and yet you are afraid to touch them for
fear of disappointment. You will permit-me to
tell you how the luxury should be enjoyed.—
Therc is a. proper way of doing all things, even
the eating of potatoes.
You can go to the lake in an omnibus, dem
ocratically; you can go in a. hack, aristocratic
ally; or you can go in nbuggy, respects-Hy. If
you are the favored correspondent of a New
York daily. which paysyour expenses and never:
examines the items of the account, it. is best. to
go respectebly. Either to enhance the “he of
the ride or to increase the reputation of his
horses, the livery keeper will‘tell you the lake
in distant. between five and six miles. Put no
faith in the statement, but. drive off at a dog
trot, and you’ll be on'its banks in less than half
an hour. It is not good policy to take a lady
with you; ladies never look well while eating,
and there is nothing poetical about a potatoo.
There is sometimes a piquont. expression about
a. lady’s face when she is nibbling bot corn of
the ear, like a coon, but, as _o general thing,
that employment. is not. attractive to a looker-on.
Hod Petrarch once seen his Laura with a. corn
oob between her teeth. I apprehend that. the
length of his love melodies would have been
materially lessened.
l When you drive up to the door of the Lake
House, it. is not. necessary to any n. word; the
waiter sees fried potatoes in your eyes, and
passes the word tit once. But, if you wish a
fresh trout, you must make that wish manifest.
Very soon on aroma comes floating on the sir,
and then it. is well to go down on the banks of
the lake and throw stones in the water till the
boy calls you to the house, because the very
smell of the sizzling vegetable is intoxicating.
Seat. yourself at the table, restrain nll enthusi
asm on your part, or on that. of your compan
ion. and eat moderately. Beware of indiscreet
haste in placing the tempting morsels in your
mouth. for they are hot. Threaten your cam
panion with the infliction of your lost poem if
he ventures to speak, and then proceed deer
rously to eat. Übstinately reluso to belie e
that. you have a peach in your mouth instead of
a potatoe. Swallow with deliberation. and do
not. eat to satiety. When there are no potatoes
left, rise slowly from the table, and tell the
proprietor that. you wish a. glass of water withn.
fly in it—the fly is for the benefit of the trout,
you understand. If the trout does not rise at
the fly, it. is no matter; you have done your
duty in that respect. and' the fish is derelict—
no blame to you. Now pay your bill, if you
have money enough,and drive off; it‘you haven't,
money.enough, the same rule is imperative-fin
either event drive elf—but. in the latter it. Is
'.'ell to urge the horse a. little. Start. for New
