They lay down again behind the rocks and we waited twenty minutes for them to show themselves.

Off to our right and in the valley another large male lion appeared and moved slowly away among the low scrub trees.
Finally we decided to rouse the two lions by shouting, but before this decision could be carried out the male rose above the rocks and stood plainly in view.

It had previously been arranged that Mr.Stephenson should try for the male, while I should try for the female.

In an instant he fired with his big rifle, the lion whirled around and then started running down the hill to the right.
Then the lioness appeared and I wounded her with my first shot.

She ran out in the open toward us, but evidently without knowing from where the firing came.
