On board the steamer the captain and his ofticers were cummunlng together, to decide what should be done to reâ€" capture the horse. There was no time to be lost, for night Was fast comlng on, and indications Were already Visible of the rise of a glorious tropical moon. As the great white disc rose over the jungle a terrific and unmistakable roar seemed to shake the very heavens. Everyone, startled by the sound, turn- ed towards the spot, and there, in the brilliant moonlight, Was seen an enorâ€" mous lion, with his head thrown back and his fore-paws stretched resolutely out. buy was been swimming vigorously to- wards the river bank.

Of course. he was taken on board with Very great care, am every precaution was taken for his safety. The grooms almost lived at the side of the beautiful creature, be~ cause they Wore by no means sure how he would take his confinement.

Cap- tain T. S. H. ‘I‘wynum, being then a lieutenant in lhd Indian Navy, was em~ played in transport duty on the River Tigris, and he commanded the river steamer Assyl‘ia. One; day in looking over some of my fathst'a old journals I came across the following ani‘yzâ€" man. So Istc-nishing is the incident that we hasten to give the name and addiess of the narrator, Miss Catharine. M. E. Twynam, of Rose Bank, Paign- ton.

By this time the excite- ment of those un board had fairly reached fever heat, as it seemed abso- lutely impossible that the Arab could escape the third time. As everyone watched the horse and lion, not a sound was heard save the ring of the horse’s hoofs and the thud of the steamer’s paddles. Which will Win? The Arab is by this time Show- ing signs of undoubted fatigue, whilst the lion seems none the worse for the Chase, The end must come soon. for the poor horse'reels slightly in his gait. The lion seems to know that the moF ment of his triumph is at hand, and he commences to growl and rumble in a very curious manner. Suddenly a second. shot startles the night air, and almost simultaneously with it comes a mighty roar as the lion leaps inzo the air, then falls to the ground dead. But now, what is to the horse on board? 01 to steam slowly close it keep the animal in via muinder of the short 11 accordin-g1y dime. stretched out in his lung strida, when he suddenly pulled up like lightning and kicked beh.nd him with tremend- ous force.

He would, of course, have allowed this before, but events oc- curred with such surprising rapidin that all ordinary action was out of the question. Every moment. the lion seemed to gain on the horse, and al- though at first he seemed to fly like the wind, he was obviously hampered by the irregularities of the ground. fly this time the steamer, too, was plunging through the Water at raomg speed. Nearer and nearer came the lion, and just when he was about to drag down his prey a shot rang out from the steamer, and the lion fell back badly wounded.
