One was extremely large, with an excellent pair of horns, and it was arranged that I should try to secure this one as a trophy, while Mr.Akeley secured a photograph of the event.

At thirty-five yards I shot the larger one of the two, and it dropped in its tracks.

The other started to charge, but was finally driven away by shouting and by shots fired in the air.

The photograph was excellent and quite dramatic.
For an hour the gunbearers worked on the dead rhino and finally secured the head and feet and certain desirable parts of the skin.

At noon we resumed our march for camp, two or three miles away.
