The “old man” snapper: an in-depth guide
B e h o l dt h e
“ o l d M A N ” !
nN nN— 1 —
from the time of herodotus un-
til to-day, lion stories innume-rable have been
told and written. i have put some on record myself. but
no lion story i have ever heard or read equals in its
longsustained and dramatic interest
the story of the tsavo man-eaters
as told by col. patterson.
a lion story is usually a tale of
adventures, often very terrible and pathetic, which
occupied but a few hours of one night
; but the tale of the tsavo manea-ters is an epic of
terrible tragedies spread out over several months, and only at last
brought to an end by the resource
and determination of one man.
LIONS: LOVELY BIG CATSOR DREADFUL MONSTERS?
in the who-le of my life i have never experienced
anythingmore nerve-
shaking than to hear the
deeproars of the-
se dreadful monsters growing
graduallynearer and nearer, and
to know that some one
or other of us was do-omed to be
their victim before
morning dawned. once they reached the vicinity of the cam-
ps, the roars completely
ceased,and we
knew that they were
stalking for their prey.
shouts would then pass
from camp to camp,
“khabar da?’, bhaieon,
shaitan ata”(“beware,
brothers, the devil is
coming”).
