Stephenson would take one side of the swamp, I the other, while Akeley with his moving-picture machine, would take the side best suited to photographic purposes.

Suddenly they showed an agitated interest in something in front of them.

They thought it was a lion until an innocent by-stander made an unauthorized guess that it was a hyena.
