Attacking the Boa-Consti'ictor.
nooses of caue, strong enough to resist the efforts uf the most powerful vrild hufFalo. With great precaution "we succeeded in passing one of our nooses round the boa's neck ; then we tied him tightly to a tree, in such a manner as to keep his head at its usual height — about six feet from the ground. This done, we crossed to the other side of the ravine, and threw another noose over him, which we secured like the first. When he felt himself thus fixed at both en...ds, he coiled and writhed, and grappled several little trees which grew within his reach along the edge of the ravine. Unluckily for him everything yielded to his efforts ; he tore up the young trees by the roots, A BOA-CONSTBICTOR DEVOURS A MAN. 225 broke off the branclies, and dislodged enormous stones, round which he sought in vain to obtain the hold or point of resist- ance he needed. The nooses were strong, and withstood his almost furious efforts.
To convey an animal like this, several buffaloes and a whole system of cordage were necessary.
