Hunting and trapping stories; a book for boys . re too powerful. With onefrantic effort to get away it sank on its knees and then on its side, while thelions tore at it until the last spark of life had vanished. The lions soon fellto quarreling over the body, and the hunter taking good aim stretched thelargest one out stone dead. The second lion bounded away into thetall bushes. The hunter found the lioness with a broken back, so torn andbattered that he shot her to put her out of misery. The lion which he hadfirst killed was also badly mangled. The ground around was trampled outof all recognition, and large pieces of fur and hide were found in places.The poor old buffalo had weakened from the loss of blood, for its shoulderswere torn into ribbons.

The buffalo then turned its attention tothe lion, a splendid full grown fellow and they battled for an hour or more. AT, I, ABOUT LIONS
