Two members of a 1912 hunting party on
safari in Massailand are enjoying lunch at a fly camp. A simple
"ploughmans lunch" (cheese and bread) washed
down with ginger beer (a non-alcoholic British brew). It is a
small safari: one client, a White Hunter, a couple of gunbearers
and four boys (a Massai Tracker, tent servant and two Mpishis
(cooks) .
t is a hot dry day and the hunters are
exhausted from a long fruitless morning trek through acacia and
scrub. They are totally unprepared for the sudden rush of a male
lion seemingly out of nowhere. The White Hunter grabs
his Purdy .470 Nitro Express Double Rifle, but it is too late.
The lion, wounded earlier by a Massai herdsmans spear,
eyes burning with a scintillating light, barrels into the White
Hunter, fatally mauling him before the client and gunbearers
can get off a shot.
Still wounded, the lion made its escape,
but was eventually tracked and brought down by the client who
returned to Nairobi with both the hunters body and that
of the lion.
