Overview: CAPTAIN MELLISS journeyed from Zaila to Berbera, and after two days' preparations, he set out with a kafila or caravan of ten camels, twelve Somalis, and two donkeys. A two months' supply of provisions and an Abyssinian pony completed the equipment. His destination was the Haud, a waterless plateau about one hundred and fifty miles distant in the interior. After the maritime plain had been left behind, during the third day's march, the caravan entered a well-wooded country, where in the numerous wadis, mimosa tree and date palm were festooned with luxuriant growth of creepers, while birds of brilliant plumage filled the jungle with life. The game along the route chiefly consisted of gazelle with little sand antelopes, guinea-fowl, and bustards, while at night jackal and hyaena serenaded the camp. At last the Haud was reached, and plenty of larger game, oryx and hartebeest, supplied the camp with meat, and the spoor of lions began to be found. A Somali soon brought news of the brutes themselves, and after a fast ride, Captain Melliss found himself for the first time in the presence of two full-grown lions. "The absolute bliss of that moment is, of course, indescribable. Here I had two lions, actually waiting for me, all to myself, a vast plain on all sides, clear of jungle as a lawn, not another bush even in sight. I was going to get them—or they get me—that was the only uncertainty in the whole thing." Thus Captain Melliss describes what he considers a perfect situation; and, no doubt, while the freshness of novelty invested them with its glamour, such experiences must have been all that he tells us to one in whom that persistently developed ancestral instinct, the love of sport, is evidently found in its utmost intensity. Captain Melliss's simplicity or crudeness of writing is not without its merit, producing, as it does, the impression of veracity, of mere accurate reporting without the slightest striving after effect. One of his two first lions was black-maned—"a rich black on the shoulders, with bright deep yellow on the head and cheeks "—the other had a rich brown mane with a shade of red in it. The lions were quickly skinned, and the skins, with the great heads and paws intact, tied behind a couple of horsemen. A man may be permitted to break into rhapsody over his first day's lion shooting, and our author does so without hesitation or apology. "What a ride back was that over the breezy rolling ban! I shall never forget the pleasure of it. What a paradise the country seemed as my eyes wandered from the two great heads at the cruppers to the wild herds scattered over the plain! The Somalis, too, rejoiced. Men, women, and children flocked out from their zarebas to gaze at and touch the lions' head. It was after a very bad day's work, in which several antelopes were wounded but nothing brought to bag, that there commenced a run of luck with lions that may be fairly described as extraordinary. To begin with, two little lion cubs were captured and kept in the camp after the lioness had been shot, and, after waiting unsuccessfully a few days for the lion, Captain Melliss moved to a jungle not far from the mountains, a spot where he remained the rest of his leave. The first thing the party came upon, as they rode into this jungle, were two lionesses and two cubs. The lionesses were brought to bay and shot, one of them charging to within a few yards of the sportsman, and after a struggle the savage young cubs, much older and larger than the first •captured, were mastered. Four lions out of five fell in the next good day's sport, and then came a red-letter day, in the last hours of which he bagged five lionesses, though, being dead beat, he shot so badly at the fourth lioness that she very nearly caught him.
