Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In 1898 John H. Patterson arrived in East Africa with a mission to
build a railway bridge over the Tsavo River. Over the course of
several weeks Patterson and his mostly Indian workforce were
systematically hunted by two man-eating lions . In all, 100 workers
were killed, and the entire bridge-building project was delayed. As
well as being stalked by lions, Patterson had to guard his back
against his own increasingly hostile and mutinous workers as he set
out to track and kill the man-eaters.
Patterson's account of the lions' reign of terror and his own
attempts to kill them is the stuff of great adventure. Consider
this description of the aftermath of an attack by the lions: ..".we
at once set out to follow the brutes, Mr. Dalgairns feeling
confident that he had wounded one of them, as there was a trail on
the sand like that of the toes of a broken limb.... we saw in the
gloom what we at first took to be a lion cub; closer inspection,
however, showed it to be the remains of the unfortunate coolie,
which the man-eaters had evidently abandoned at our approach. The
legs, one arm and half the body had been eaten, and it was the
stiff fingers of the other arm trailing along the sand which had
left the marks we had taken to be the trail of a wounded lion...."
This classic tale of death, courage, and terror in the African bush
is still a page-turner, even after all these years.
