Excerpt from Babes in the African WoodTms narrative puts forward no claim to be added to the vast number of admirable text books upon big-game hunting already before the public. Hunting necessarily plays a part, but its aim is simpler, it desires merely to take the reader for a summer's camping in one of the newest of British possessions, to share with him, as far as may be, the varied humour, in terest and charm which make up the life, and to offer some small assistance to any who may intend to experience it for themselves.I wish to thank my friend, companion and leader for the great help he has given me in the shape of notes, criticisms and photographs, above all, for his generous permission to make free use in the appendix of his excellent and detailed notes upon outfitting. It will be sufi'i ciently obvious to any who read so far that such value as this may have is due entirely to him, and that the responsibility for all its short comings must be laid upon my shoulders.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
