Many and many a time have I missed with my first shot and waited, without a stir, for the nature of the beast to assert itself, and many a time has he stopped dead and given me my opportunity before he could realise how far he had committed himself The sentinel himself, who is usually a well-grown animal, will do it ; though he is very difficult to get He is well enough instructed by instinct to stand and watch to leeward, for the herd can smell danger for itself, whilst he occupies a commandin...g position and relies mainly on his eyesight Still, it is possible to work round sufficiently to windward to avoid being scented, and at the same time to keep hidden from the keen eyes of the sentinel, if there be not more than one, and thus get a shot. But such wily pre- cautions are nullified with a magazine rifle, unless the first shot is fatal, but even the best of us can never be certain of such being the case. It is most difficult to avoid detection by sight or sound in the process of recharging a chamber and taking a fresh sight The frightened, but still alert creature, will MEANS OF DEFENCE 119 seldom fail to spot it, and then there remains nothing but a last despairing and generally cruel shot.
