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 , can easily believe tliat a tree even ' four inches in diameter could have ! been readily broken by him. By some of the natives of Western Afire :r, where tiie animal are mostly found, the gorilla is regarded with superstition.-, dread. They believe I the horrible .body t«» be inhabited by the spirit of some wicked ttmir, which ! is thus cursed by heaven oil account of bad deed;, done while iu the human form. Such natives believe that tiie 1 killing of a gorilla amounts to nothing . iu the way of i*xti*rmiuatiug the nion- Ist is, as llie accursed spirit will quickly li id another body of like character. And furlhei'inoiv, tiie.i think tliat these gioiHaVs which have been once slain arc those which do the most mischief against mail. Others have Ia diiferenl belief; and when a gorilla | is slain they make a great jubilee ovi*r Ihe event ; at id s rne of tiro bonis of iho dead .oonsti'r, particularly the , krill, arc used as charms.
