AFRICAN GAME TRAILS:

(Continued from page 3.)-

Ody camp was on a thre, dry plain covered, with brown and withered grass. At most hours

of the day we could see round about, perhaps wore fat and in fine conditioner the skin

smile or so distant, or loss, the game foeding. Bouth of the track the reserva stretched for long distance; north it went for but a mile, just enough to prevent thoughtloss or orael people from shooting as they went by in the train. There was very little water; what we drank, by the way, was carefully boiled. The drawback to the camp, and to all this plains region, lay in the ticks, which swarmed, sand were a scourge to man and beast. Every even ing the saisos picked them by hundreds off cash horse; and some of our party were at timos so bitten by the noisome little areatures that they conla hardly sloop at night, and in one or two cases a man was actually laid up for a couple of days, and two of our horses dltimately got tick fevor, but recovered.

DIFFICULT HUNTING,

In mid-afternoon of our third day in this camp we at last had matters in such shape that Kermit and I could begin our hunting; and forth we rode, he with Hill, I with Sir Alfred, oach accompanied by his gun-bearers and sale, and by a few porters to carry in the game. For two or three miles aar little horses shuiled steadily northward soross the desolato flats of short grass until the ground began to rise here and there into low hills, or kopjes, with rock strown tops. It should have been the rainy season, the season of the big rains; but the rains were late, as the parched desolation of the landscape bors witness; nevertheless, there were two or three showers that after. Wo soon began to see game, but the BOOK. flatness of the country and the absence of all cover made stalking a matter of diff onlty tho only bushes were a few sparsely. scattered mimosas; stunted things; two or three feet high, noantily leaved, but abounding in bulbous swellings on the trige, and in long, sharp spikes of Larus.

he had ridden down and alam. It was long after nightfall before we reached camp, trendy for a hot bath and a good suppor. As always thereafter with anything we shot, we used the most for food and preserved the skins for the National Museum. Both the cow and the bull but they were covered with ticks, especially was bare. Around the eyes the lostheome creatures swarmed so as to make complete rims, like spectacles, and in the armpits and the groin they were massed so that they looked like barnacles on an old beat. It is astonishing that the gains should mind them so little; the wildebeest evidently dreaded far more the biting flies which hung around them; and the maggots of the bot-les in their nostrils must have been a sore torment. Nature is merciless indeed.

The next day wa rodo some sixteen miles.to the beautiful hills of Kitangs, and for over a fortnight were either Penss's guests at his farm manchus we should call it in the West-or were on safari under his guidance.

TRADE BETWEEN BWATOW AND SINGAPORE. In his report on the trade of Swatow in 1908, Conaal Hausser, writing of emigration and shipping, says the number of emigrants leaving the port was 117,851. During the first quarter of the year the figures were about normal, bat the returns for the second and third quarters showed a marliod decrease as compared with the figures for the corresponding quarters of 1907, ama-30,000 fewer omigrants having left the port during the six months April to September. This may be accounted for partly by the inoroase in passage rates consegaent on the withdrawal of the Japanese company from the competition with the North German Lloyd steamers on the Bangkok line. Though these figures show a considerable falling-aff, they pet represent an average year. Of courso 1907 was exceptional, owing to the keen competition on the Swaton Bangkok line, which tended to depress emigra-TO-NIGHT! tion on the other lines to some extent.

THE FIRST GAME.

Distances are deceptive on the bare plains under the African sunlight. I saw a fine Grant, and stalked him in a rural qeft; but the ballets from the little Springfield fell short as he raced sway to safety; I had underestimate the range. Then I shot, for the table, a good back of the smaller gazelle, at 225 yards; the bullet went a little high, breaking his back above the shoulders.

But what I really wanted wore two good specimens, bull and cow, of the wildebeest. These powerful, ungainly beasts, a variety of the bridled gut or blue wildebeest of Seath Africa, are interesting creatures of queer, eccentric habits: With their shoggy manas, heavy forequarters, and generally bovins look, they remind me somewhat of our bijou, at a distance, but, of contas, they are much less bulky, an old ball in primis condition rarely reaching a weight of 50lb. They are beasts of the open plains, ever alert and wary; the Dows, with their calves, and one or more herd bulls, keep in parties of several score; the old bulls, singly, or two or three together, keep by themselves or with herds of zebra hartebeest, or

gazelle;

for one of the interesting features of African wild Life is the close nasociation and companionship so often seen between two totally different mecies of game.

Wildebeest are as savage as they are sus picions; when wounded they do not hesitate to charge a man who comes close, although, of course, neither they nor any other antelopes can be called dangerous when in a wild state,

wore thrown out of employment, whilst the heavy raids and typhoon in the Swatow district probably provided employment for many whe would otherwise have emigrated. When the Nippon Yeon Kaisha Co. withdrew from the coulie-carrying trade with Bangkok, the whole emigration business of the port was left practi- cally in the hands of the North German Lloyd. The only other vessels competing (on the Singa pore line only) during the year were the steamers of the Woo Bin and other companies tunning. under the British flag to Singapore, the Straits Settlements and Rangoon, Starting from with Amor, tidy call at Swatow to fill up passengers and cargo, and though very popular bonts with excellent accommodation for all classes of Chinste, saldom obtain more Unit 300 or 400 passengers from Swatow, but carry con- siderable quantities of cargo,

MEETING A MONOPOLY.

To meet the monopoly thus established by the German Lloyd, a company with a capital of 3,000,000 ticals was promoted by Chinese and Biamese merchants in Bangkok to run steamers from Swatów to Bangkok and the Straits. To enable the company to withstand the competition of the North German Lloyd, it is intended that all coolies travelling by the company's steamers shall be guaranteed employment ou arrival at Bangkok, whilst those arriving by other lines are to by boycotted. The scheme has been warmly take up by native merchants, and a successful start lids been made in the early part of this year with six uhartered vessels. Mesers. Jardine, Matheson and Co. act as agents for the company at Swatow. Another line, the Eastern Shipping Co., Ltd., of Penang, is running & monthly ohartered vessel from Amey vai Swatow to Eingapore, Penang and Rangoon, alling at Swatow about once a month.
