Excerpt from After Big Game in Central Africa: Records of a Sportsman From August 1894 to November 1897, When Crossing the Dark Continent From the Mouth of the Zambesi to the French Congo The detailed narrative Of my journey through Central Africa, from the Zambesi to the French Congo, with its incidents, its vicissitudes, its dis coveries, and its results, will be found in another work. Here I propose only to relate matters Of sport as they occur to me, without Obliging myself to follow their chronological order. I shall guard myself against the desire to make the reader be present at the death Of my 500 victims, which would be very monotonous to him; for, after all, though circumstances may vary, the result Of a hunt after wild animals is always the same. There will be found in this volume, therefore, only the principal episodes Of my most recent years in hunting, with the addition Of some notes on the habits of African fauna.
