By the time the zebra was skinned, darkness was fast approaching,
so we selected a suitable tree in which to pass the night. Under it
we built a goodly fire, made some tea, and roasted a couple of
quails which I had shot early in the day and which proved simply
delicious. We then betook ourselves to the branches -- at least,
Mahina and I did; Moota was afraid of nothing, and said he would
sleep on the ground. He was not so full of courage later on,
however, for about midnight a great rhino passed our way, winded us
and snorted so loudly that Moota scrambled in abject terror up our
tree.

The Man-eaters of Tsavo and other East African Adventures is a book
written by John Henry Patterson in 1907 about a pair of lions that
he killed in Kenya, known as the Tsavo man-eaters. The book
describes attacks by man-eating lions on the builders of the Uganda
Railway in Tsavo, Kenya in 1898 and how the lions were eventually
killed by Patterson. It was remarkable as nearly 140 people were
killed by the man-eaters in less than a year before Patterson
managed to kill them.
