It was the one I had wounded a few minutes before.
[Drawing: _Photographed in Times of Danger_] There was still the other lion in the reeds.

So I joined the beaters while Stephenson came out and took a commanding position at the side of the reeds.

In a moment or two there was a tawny flash and the lion was seen as it broke from the reeds and sprang away up the hill.

It was on the opposite side of the reeds from Stephenson, but his first shot hit it and it stopped and turned angrily.

In another instant it would have charged, but a second shot from his rifle killed it instantly.
