Returning towards Djim-Tilo, we took part in a hippopotamus hunt. One of these beasts, disturbed by the noise of our approach, threw itself on one side with its head and shoulders out of water, looking like the sea-horse of mythological pictures. Another, of which we could at first see no more than the snout, was struck by a bullet fired by F ___ and leapt out of the water, then plunged back revealing its enormous hind-quarters with a little stump of a tail wagging an ironical farewell.
