Whenever I shot an animal the Shooa natives would invariably cut its throat, and drink the hot blood as it gushed from the artery. In this neighbourhood there was a great scarcity of game the natives of Lira described their country as teeming with elephants and rhinoceros; a fine horn of the latter they brought with them to Shooa.
Drawn onward by the novelty of all the scene, Beth crossed the main street already teeming with horses, wagons, and men and proceeded over towards a barren hill, followed demurely by her maid.
But he was not taking all the advantage of it that he might have done. The questions with which his mind was evidently teeming came out but slowly.
