THE HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE During this tale, Ross and I forced fresh permanganate into the wounds that turned him white with pain. We had between us now about twenty boys, but we figured we would need about ten more to be safe. Ross tackled Kamb- wili, but they refused to turn out. I was for forcing them out with my revolver, but Ross advised against it as they would have a case against us. When in Broken Hill afterwards, Fraser, the manager of the company, said they would have seen us through any such jam, if I had used my gun. At any rate Kambwili paid bitterly. Ross reported this to Chicken, the native commissioner, who happened to be in a bad temper. A week later Chicken had the whole of the male adult population of Kambwili brought in to Boma, about forty of them. They were in turn put down and twenty lashes from a hippopotamus hide sjambok administered. Some of these men were unable to walk for days afterwards. Carrying the Wounded Man A little after noon, Fallows became delirious and wanted to be set down so that he could rest comfortably. Then he became obsessed with the idea that we were deserting him and we had to walk on either side of him where he could see us. Along about 2.30, we hit the main road and saw the tire mark of the truck that had gone down to Missola and, what was more tragic, had returned. Our feet felt just like red hot coals. Ross indicated to me by signs over Fallows' head that he was going ahead to see if he could pos- sibly get the truck any quicker, as he could probably make half a mile an hour faster than the carriers. He was hardly out of sight when Fallows demanded his little bag containing his personal papers. I gave it to him and he took a writing pad and pencil and began to write. When he had finished he turned to me with his eyes wild, but talking in a calm voice, and said that he overheard Ross tell me that there was no hope for him. He therefore had made his will and written his last letter to his mother. He wanted to be set down immediately, Ross brought back and his last moments made as peaceful as possible. I tried to humour him along and con- sole him, and he seemed to get a bit more rational, but begged that I should get Ross back to be the other witness to his will. Figuring that this might steady him I started out to J Tel.

Plunging in he walked rapidly in the direction where he thought the lion had gone when his majesty bounded at him from the side. He dodged as well as he could but the lion got in one smack with a forepaw that knocked him off his feet. This smack also opened a slash on his face. He fired at the lion but missed, and in the next second the beast was upon him. He threw up his arms to protect his head and the lion promptly met his teeth in his wrist. The animal then decided to start lower down and, sinking his claws in his left leg to hold him, began munching at his knee. Hospital examination subsequently showed that the lion had completely pulped the knee joint mashing the bones horribly. All this took place in an instant. Fallows, who had retained his rifle, pressed it against the lionls chest and fired. To his intense relief the lion rolled off and began writhing about. Fallows shouted for his boys, but they were not coming down into the dambo with a Wounded lion there. He managed to drag himself clear of the long grass and then noticed that the blood was coming from his knee in spurts. Realizing that an artery was severed he managed to adjust a tourniquet on his thigh and again shouted for his boys. Finally two, more courageous than the rest, ran down, picked him up, and rushed for the trees. They constructed a bark meshili for him and started back to camp, got him on his bed and under his direction cut off his clothes. He alternately released and tightened the tourniquct until he was quite sure the blood flow had ceased, In preparing permanganate to put on his wounds he made it too strong with the result that the gaping holes in his knee partially closed permitting poison to form. He then spent a night that would have been sufficient to excuse his com- mitting suicide. His boys sat beside him assur- ing him that he was going to die. The women of the compound sat outside and put up the horrible wail that they bring forth when someone is dying. In the morning his legs were stiff and he could not move them. He sent his cook and capita off with messages for Buffam and us, and then started his boys to carry him to Kanona. Buffam had met him near Shimomba and told him about the truck.

I began to shout, but he didn't hear, and I could not seem to gain on him. Finally I thought of my revolver and, firing a shot, I was gratified to see him turn. He waited for me to come up and I told him Fal- lows' wish. We went back, signed the will, and then Fallows started in at Ross, accusing him of everything under the sung but good old Ross just humoured him along. Fallows then began to imagine he was dying by inches and every now and then would announce how many more inches to go. The final bit was when he began to talk of tombstones and graveyards. We were all in, and this morbid talk just had us done. Just when we were ready to collapse the truck appeared. We had covered 56 miles in 24 hours and knew it. We were about two and a half miles from Kanona when the truck picked us up. Fallows seemed to come to life at the sight of the truck and we loaded him on and were in Kanona in no time. The mail truck had also arrived and was being held for the injured man. We took him into the company's office and the doctor decided to give him a short rest before dressing him. When the doctor started, Buffam and I came in to hold the lamps. When the sheets were pulled back, poor old Buff got his first sight of the wounds and promptly passed out. The doctor and I carried him outside, where he soon came around. We had a great dinner and a bath, and iI1 in- specting my feet, found blisters on each one. The truck left at ten o'clock that night for Broken Hill and Buffam and I went with him to take turns during the night tending him. We arrived at Kapiri about forty miles out of Broken Hill about I o'clock the next day and from there sent a wire to the hospital to be ready to receive him. We arrived at the hospital around three and he was promptly hauled to the operating room. An examination showed that the leg which was crushed was septic and it would be touch and go for him. Buffam and I went up to the companyls guest-house and rolled in for one sweet snooze. The next day I found that I could not get my weight on my right foot, and it was terribly swollen. It was this way for three days in spite of steady poul-
