One lion fell dead almost ON the buffalo; he had merely time to turn toward us, seize a bush with his teeth, and drop dead with the stick in his jaws.

The second made off immediately; and the third raised his head, coolly looked round for a moment, then went on tearing and biting at the carcass as hard as ever.

We retired a short distance to load, then again advanced and fired.

The lion made off, but a ball that he received OUGHT to have stopped him, as it went clean through his shoulder-blade.

He was followed up and killed, after having charged several times.
