In most rhino charges it is my opinion that the rhino is too rattled to know what he is doing, and, instead of charging maliciously, he is merely trying to get away as fast as possible.

And in such cases the hunter blazes away at him, wounds him, and the rhino blindly charges the flash.
[Drawing: _Trying to Provoke a Charge_] It was our wish to get moving pictures of a rhino charge.

Mr.Akeley had a machine and our plan of action was simple.

We would first locate the rhino, usually somnolent under a thorn tree or browsing soberly out in the open.

We would then get to the leeward of him and slowly advance the machine; Mr.Akeley in the middle and Stephenson and I on each side with our double-barreled cordite rifles.
