I mentionthese facts to show how much work an elephant-hunter has often to go through, taking it all in all,for each animal killed. Whilst following on the spoor of the elephants, Iwas surprised, upon issuing from a thick goussyforest, to find myself suddenly in face of a hill ofconsiderable height. As this was the first hill of anysort or kind I had seen since leaving the VictoriaFalls, and as it is certainly the only eminence withina radius of very many miles, I viewed it with greatcuriosity, and could I have afforded the time wouldcertainly have ascended it. As it was, however, thespoor, after approaching pretty close to its foot,again led us away in a contrary direction.

Still, it was not much beforemidnight that our ears were at length greeted by thedistant croaking of many thousands of frogs, and a^QyN minutes later I was having calabashes of waterpoured over my head, and washing some of the dirtfrom my grimy person.
