Description
Excerpt from Hunting and Hunted in the Belgian Congo
To old and young alike I trust that these pages may be of interest and may serve to arouse some little sympathy for my distant Congo friends, dusky though they be.
My trip to that country was not undertaken solely for pleasure, for I have some claims to be numbered among the dozen or so of men who are styled Elephant Hunters, of whom few, if indeed any, have worked so far into the Congo wilds as my friend and I in the course of the journey set forth in the following pages.
I hope I may be successful in giving some idea of the enormous obstacles, the disappointments, and the dangers which daily, nay, almost hourly, confront the hunter and trader in the north-eastern Congo, the Lado Enclave and the Luele District.
