Of course it must be understood that she was choosing the subject. But at this he interposed. "Wait a moment; it's six thousand francs extra." "It's all the same to me, by Jove!" she cried, bursting into a laugh. "Hasn't my little rough got the rhino?" Nowadays among her intimates she always spoke thus of Count Muffat, and the gentlemen had ceased to inquire after him otherwise.
The Tana River is a favorite place for rhino, buffalo, nearly all sorts of antelope, and some lion; Mount Kenia is an elephant hunting ground, and the Aberdare Range, between Kenia and Naivasha, also is good for elephant. North of Kenia is the Guas Nyiro River, a rich district for game of many kinds.
Dinky-Dunk sat staring at me with a wry though slightly woebegone face. "Look here, Lady-Bird, all this sort of thing takes 'rhino, which means ready money. And where's it going to come from?" "I'll use that six hundred, as long as it lasts," I blithely retorted. "And then we'll get credit." "But my credit is gone," Dinky-Dunk dolorously acknowledged. "Then what's the matter with mine?"
Would Berselius never speak! Berselius all the time was glancing from the rhino to Adams. "Fire!" The ear-blasting report of the elephant gun echoed from the forest, and the rhino, just as if he had been tripped by an invisible wire fence, fell, tearing up the ground and squealing like a pig. "Good," said Berselius. Adams wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
As a general thing the little birds, on sight of danger, begin a wild chatter, rising from the back of the rhino and flying in an opposite direction from the danger. Then they return, light on the rhino's back, and repeat, often several times, the operation of flying away from the danger. If the rhino is a wise rhino he learns from the birds which is the safe way to go and soon trots swiftly off.
Loveless gave us the latest news: "The Colonel came over the rise a half hour ago and said the rhino was laying down resting quiet. The Colonel went back again at once to keep watch." As we proceeded farther on the circuit and began to ride down the gentle slope into the adjacent valley, we slowed down the pace to a cautious walk.
And if there is such a thing as the glow of adventure by proxy, it must have been felt in the Nassau Street law office, where the Buffalo Jones African Expedition had its headquarters, when the cablegram from Nairobi announced that lion and rhino had been lassoed, and that the moving pictures were a complete success.
They had reduced their number to two of each kind; but this was too small to admit of two against one, so they were now dodging each other, snarling bravely enough, but not fighting. "The rhino caught a hyena on his tusk, tossed him in air, caught him as he fell, sent him flying again, and then stamped his life out.
We could not go down to it without danger from the wounded lion, the rhino, and possibly the wolf, though, with these out of the way, we might dodge or kill the cobras and fight off the hyena. "As it was, we were caught. I suggested to the skipper that he go down the mizzentopmast-backstay, dart into his cabin, and get his rifle. Then he could pot the brutes from the forward windows.
"I'll do it to-morrow, if you wish," said Tom Walker. "You shall lend money at two per cent a month." "Egad, I'll charge four!" replied Tom Walker. "You shall extort bonds, foreclose mortgages, drive the merchant to bankruptcy " "I'll drive him to the d -l," cried Tom Walker, eagerly. "You are the usurer for my money!" said the black legs, with delight. "When will you want the rhino?"
