e horns, pinning it to the earth.
When too late to save the quagga, we both pulled our triggers, when the
animal, still dragging the body of its victim on, rushed forward several
paces before it dropped.

We, of course, reloaded, but before we could fire, the other rhinoceros
might be in the midst of the camp and commit all sorts of damage.
Fortunately, at that moment, Toko, who had just arrived with a party of
men carrying the tusks, his rifle being loaded with ball, with a
well-directed shot prevented the catastrophe we feared by killing the
rhinoceros just before it reached the waggons.

We had an evening of rejoicing, for by the addition of our rhinoceros
horns, our waggons were piled up to the very top; and my uncle expressed
some apprehension that the axles might break down with the weight of the
unusual load before we arrived at the coast.

We lost not a day in proceeding thither. On reaching Walfish Bay, we
safely embarked the valuable produce we had collected.

So ended the first series of my adventures in Africa. I have, however,
since made several other expeditions to various parts of that hitherto
little-known continent, of which I may some day give an account to the
world.

THE END.
