The two bulls were so engaged in their duel that they did not notice me until I was within fifty yards of them.
First one, then the other, was borne to the ground, when presently their horns became locked together, as though arm in arm.

The more they tugged to separate themselves, the tighter they held together, and at length they ranged side by side, Taking a shot at the shoulder of the nearest bull, they both fell suddenly to the ground.

The fall unlocked their horns, and one bull recovering his legs, retreated at a slow pace and dead lame.

The nearest bull was killed, and mounting my horse I galloped after the wounded buffalo.

The chase did not last long.
