The air was darkened, the rapid firing, at first, soon became more and more faint, and at last died away in the distance.
In such a run, a good horse and experienced rider will select and kill from ten to twelve buffaloes at one heat, but in the case before us, the surface was rocky and full of badger holes.

Twenty-three horses and riders were at one moment all sprawling on the ground, one horse gored by a bull, was killed on the spot, two more were disabled by the fall.
One rider broke his shoulder blade, another burst his gun, and lost three fingers by the accident, another was struck on the knee by an exhausted bull.

In the evening no less than 1,375 tongues were brought into camp.

When the run is over the hunter's work is now retrograde.

The last animal killed is the first skinned, and night not unfrequently, surprises the runner at his work.
