survey of the grouml around ns, and
f< «jn>l all right, we -nt down, and eat
up the last ut otir l.fead and meat;
and wliua the meal had l*ocn tlispowii

in t ic din-etiim which had lieeii taken
l.v t ic disapp. aiing person of tin*
previous nigi.t. Within a bund re l
y .rds of the place whcie our el. pliant
lay, we found a rivulet of pure water)
which went murmuring musically
nlong ov .-r a bed of dark red ejiltdi
We I,allied our heads and laces it; the
limpid stream, and then sat down
•ijxaii the grn**y bank to rest. The
guide was telling tuc a long story,
when we were startled l.y a sharp,
loud cry close at band. It was a cry
ditTere-iit (VoiU an* I had ever heard,
and so strangely terrific, that I leaped
to nty fee t as though a thunderbolt
bad bunt upon me. An exclamation
of terror front the guide, and a wave |
of hiiijuu. t. Indicated to me tiie dir
cciifltt of the author of the cry we had
heard; and upon looking that way.
1 bel'-Md o sceud that quickened the
pulsations of thy heart most emphati
cally. • y j
Not tner. than twenty yard* from
u% upoit the opposite side of the
stream, KiooJ t-.vo monster anti r
puid*. I quickly determined tliat they
were a tattle and female. Tin; guide,
as he started back for his rifle, called
themehimpanasa; but I knew better,
than Uutt. The male, as lie stood,
was at’- least . *i.\ feet high, and no
chimpawter- over approached that
staturei And, moreover, this animal
possessed a muscular development j
the most povverfnl 1 had ever coil- j
ceivud of. Thu head was brood anil
low, -tlfp. ii.-ivtn cavity being almost
entir,,‘b”*r>Jofid \he face, instead of
above it, as in mail; the ears were
small; the nose broad and fiat, with
wide nostrils; tie ii.outii exceedingly
large, with thin, hard tip*; the chin
hmall and receeding; with the m’.izzlo
very prominent. The whole face was
w i .ukled and black, Bad its expression
the most rejittlsiu and forbidding
that call be conceived of. The chest
was massive mid capacious: the
shoulders I road and heavy ; the stom
ach very prominent ; an I the limbs
ii solid mass of bone, muscle and
sinew. The arms were n..i no long
us those of Ute ouraiig, but lunger
than t tOKe of lilt; eh ui|ian/. e. The
body was mostly' (Xivcrq l with sluut.
coarse hair, of a dirty, blackish gray
color; the female living nliuosl I I ick.
**lt is not » chinipanscv,” I -aid, ns
1 moved back to the live where tny
rifle stooil. “There is but one family
ill the world to which these mounters
can belong. I have nut il tiovv, doubled
the existence of that colossal aiithfo
jioi.l irilie; bill ( can doubt it no
longer. They must lie gorillas!''
“Uy* lien Veils!” cried till* gltidre
gra giiag his rille, and bringing it up
Vfa IV lur use, •you are right. Col.”
1 knew I was right. The animals
bcfi.ta u- wore sorely gorillas, and
more terrvde Linking monsters I never
sav.. \\ lieu the male found lie Imd
nil meted our Attention, he gave utter
atn*e to a deep, gutteral cry ; then lie
beat his broati breast Iri'ineudoilsly
with both Ills hands; ami directly his
cry arose in volumes until it beeinne
a roar that ilia I tin* very foreit ijuake
I trembled I eotild not help it; and
1 v.ivi Unit tin - guide trembled too.
The female sat down, supporting her
self upon her In ml* and liiiiiiu'lick, in
Mfh a position that she could leap
a! fill instant's nut ice; while the male
remained standing elect, eontintling
to roar and beat hi* bVeast.
Tile gniilC naked me if we ahotild
lir*. I did not know wlint to answer
I ..now iln.t if we tired, and tnis-C.l
our mnrk*, we iveie dend men. Il we
did not fire, the ::..rillas might leave
u . And yet I wanted Ute skeleton
and skin of th.' t un likable brute.
However, our deliberations were very
quickly and sum.aarily brought to an
en l. The mac' Mlildenlv gave u ter
rific cry—a cry like the concentrated
iv awhoop us a thousand savages—
and made n bound towards ns. The
sense of mortal danger instantly gave
tin* tone of <tc I to tny nerves, and
my rifle cam. to mv shoulder quickly
and firmly. We both fired together,
but tiie gorilla was not killed, lie
1 aped the ju.arow stream with a yell
litme terrific than the first, ami in tut
it tiuit 1(101 he '.-rasped the guide's
rdl< i and Int the steel him.ds a*
though they bad be. n the sol Us. fetid.
Toi* nioine; . was tnir last if lev
•econd bam i liiiled me. The gori in
.ad ttirf.'.il down tile hciidedi.il",
and another deiaoniae yell was upon
Ida lips, when I brought the murtsle
of tny piece elo*e to his head, and
pulled the second trigger. There was
a momentary taintih-s* on r tny beurt,
nml great drops of |s*rs|iiratl«u star
ted out upon my brow, ns the thought
of failure flashed across my miuil.
Hut my rifle answered faithfully to
the touch of tny linger, and the gorilla
tumbled over with a bullet through
iiis head.
The guide lay upon the ground,
where lie imd fallen in the attempt to
escape from the monster; and I saw
that he was, for the present, power
less l» help me. What should I do
if tiie female gorilla attacked iisf
Both barrel* of my rill,; were empty,
and my pistols would Ik* but poor
things against such mi enemy, lint,
nc st fortunately, her ladyship did
not o!f. i \o aVungc the death of her
lord. I ttiink the reports of our rifle ,
with the Uusli slid slunk, Iriglitentsl
her. At all events, sit* uttered a
sue-csaimi of sharp yelping cries, and
made off into the forest using her
hands to assist in locomotion, nml
leaping forward between then, with
a swiu lug motion.
My first taro, after the departure!
of the female gorilla, wac to reload
my rifle; and alter this 1 attended to
the guide. 1 found him weak und
faint; but a few- swallows of brandy
soon revived him, and in a short time
his pulse* were restored to their
healthy beat. Let it not be thought
from this that my faithful guide was
faint-hearted. If some brave man
wishes to experience what the fuint
ness of utter terror is, let him find
himaeif disarmed, before* a wounded,
maddened, ftijl-grown mule gorilla.
If ho doe* toot Sit that moment feel
what it is to be stricken with mortal
terror, then I ahotild most unhesitat
ingly r! etfe 'that he hail no nerves
an I no heart.
When wc catne to examine the'
frame of tiie dead monster, wo found j
it more wondorousiy developed in j
muscle mid siuew tha’n we had at first
thought. Tiro arm of the most pow
erful man I ever saw would have been
as tiro arm of a nursing infant iu com
parison with the arm of tliat grfrillu.
. There was no uppenraneo of any
' wrist, tiie tendinous mu*, le* coßtiuu
| iug their knotty swelling’to the ball
jof the thumb. The jaws were like a
I vice in their power, nml I havu no
doubt of the truth of tiro statement
' that Ui« gorilla can crush the barrel
iof an or.linave twr*Bk«t brtvet'h -hi*
tooth; and from the manner In which
t!u> i»res.*nt monster bent lip the
: double barrel of the guide's rifle, 1
