Finally by firing shots in the air and yelling noisily it turned and dashed over the side of the hill.

The photograph, taken at the instant the big rhino was struck, was remarkably dramatic and showed one rhino in an aggressive attitude and the other just plunging down from the shot of the big bullet.
The front horn of the dead rhino was twenty and three-quarters inches long and in many places the animal's hide was over an inch thick.

Strips of this were cut off to make whips, and a large section was removed to be made into a table top.

These table tops, polished and rendered translucent by the curing processes, are beautiful as well as extremely interesting.

The rhino's tongue is even more delicious to eat than ox tongue and rhino tail soup is a great luxury on any white man's table; while the native porters consider rhino meat the finest of any meat to be had in Africa.
