On one of my visits into Darkest Africa
“*#years ago I found a jungle tribe terrorised by
Uie ravages of a man-killing lion. I took an
ipt inflated auto tire, built a big cage on it and
^ went after tne King of Beasts.
Climbing inside the cage I jumped it up
and down several times, the tire springing into
life and affording the cylinder-like cage great
r momentum. Tne natives fled in terfor as I
bounded away
V
Jumping through the undergrowth like a living rubber ball I soon
flushed tnc lion, who broke for the dense jungle. Alter him the resilient
tirt hurled the cage. Slowly but surely I overtook the beast.
Steering the cage after him relentlessly, I finally ran him down.
Retching out I grabbed his tail, jerked it through one of the airholes in
the Cage and tied his tail in a secure knot. Thus we sped on.

Then I rolled the great cage over hit back as he sped on, gradually
working myself out of the cylinder and the lion into it. He (ought
savagely, but I avoided his teeth and claws.
Crawling on top of the cage, I gave the tire the necessary impetus
and soon landed the man Wilier, caged, in the village, where the natives
wildly clamored to make me their chief. But I declined the honor.
