Rhinoceros in The
Driver's Seat
Audrey Critchley huts been a
model, a singer, a film extra, and
alas run a dress shop in Lisbon.
]put not until one day after she
had become a hunter and traps
per in the Kenya bush did she
really find excitement.
Thirty yards oPf was a fully -
grown leopard, staring at her
with cold, yellow -green eyes. She
Melt dizzy with fear. She knew
that if she shot and missed,
or merely wounded him, she was
es good as dead,
Slowly she stepped backwards.
Then, not far away, two shots
rang out. Her safari friends had
heard her fire twice at the head
of a large python a few minutes
previously. They were giving her
Rheir location,
Goaded by the shots the leop-
ard started after her, Forgetting
all she had learned, she turned
end ran. It was hysterical, sui-
cidal idiocy for she couldn't hope
to outrun her tawny adversary,
and hadn't a chance of hitting it
on the run.
Obeying her woman's intuition
she pulled up, suddenly, parted
the dense foliage in front of her,
e nd saw a sheer drop of perhaps
200 feet in front of her. The
leopard was gaining. She had to
think quickly,
Glimpsing a tiny track to her
fright, she ran up to it, hoping
to get a shot as it turned to fol-
low, But it streaked past her
eliding place and hurtled over
the cliff. There was a crash -
and silence.
It had probably broken its back
on the ground below, but she
was too frightened to investigate.
She was shaking with fear and
running with sweat, Summoning
what strength remained, she let
out a wild cry for help. "I feel
Ito ashamed of myself," she said
when her friends joined her. "I
behaved like a schoolgirl afraid
of shadows."
But her book, "Leopard Girl"
shows what guts she had, build-
ing up a career for herself in
the bush after a broken mar-
riage in Nairobi hadleft her with
three young children to support.
Driving to Naivasha with her
illative boy Marcellus and a po-
lice inspector's 14 - year - old
slaughter who wanted a lift, she
!paw three Kikuyu crouching fur -
lively behind a tree. Their hair-
gtyle was odd. She w•as sure they
Were Mau Mau terrorists.
.Reversing the car, she drova
back slowly until she came level
with them again, No mistaking
them now. One wore his hair in
long ringlets, after the hellion
of Dedan Kimathi, it notorious
)dau Mau "general"
"I can be pretty • silly at times,"
tehe says, so she called "Jambo"
(come here). They came cau-
tiously towards her, and now she
elidn't feel so brave. The mad,
(staring eyes of the would-be
Kimathi terrified her. His mani-
acal gaze drilled right through
filer.
"Very bad men, memsahib,"
MERRY MENAGERIE
'"I*uriy up, William? Val e
apple's heavy:"
STEAMED UP - Strange -look-
ing steam rocket is mounted
for testing in Stuttgart, Ger-
many. They may be used even-
tually to help boost let -liners
into the air, thus making long
runways unnecessary.
said Marcellus, "We should go-
quickly." But she got out, walk-
ed up to them, and asked in Swa-
hili: "Are you Mau Mau?" Ex-
changing nervous looks, they said
they were.
"How long have you been in
the bush?" she asked,
"Five years," said the Kimathi
type. "Our general has been kill-
ed. The rest of our band is scat-
tered."
"Resistance is nearly at an end
now," she told them. "If you stay
in the bush the police will catch
you and kill you. I do not mind
letting you go, but you would
be wiser to give yourselves up."
She went on parleying with
them, and in the end they agreed
to go back to Gil Gil with her.
She packed them into the car,
gave them a soft drink, stopped
at the police station, and hand-
ed them over.
Once she carne across a flight,
of enormous eagles feeding off
some large insects. She knew
they tore up sheep, occasionally
made off with mall children,
but was determined to capture a
brace for her private zoo. With
a large sheet of sacking from
the car, she and Marceline
swooped on two of them.
They fought savagely, leaking
and clawing with their talons,
striking blindly wdth their beaky.
The one she tackled clawed her
left arm deeply and bit her near
the wrist, digging out a lump of
flesh.
Marcellus was in a worse
plight, with the other bird going
for his head and oyes; He was
cowering back, grasping at it
with one hand, protecting his
eyes with the other,
"Let it go," she shouted. "Come
and help me with, this one!"
And together they captured it
and stuffed it into the sack.
Another time, in her truck,
she was trying to head •a female
rhino away from her calf, so
that others could capture it,
when the animal charged straight
for the door of her truck. See-
ing instantly what was going to
happen she wriggled desperately
through the roof escape -hatch as
the rhino shot into the driving
seat.
The animal became firmly
wedged and immediately started
smashing everything around.
Above the snorts and crashes
Audrey heard the snarl of a
'THAT WEIGHTLESS FEELING -- Five of the seven astronauts, one
of whom is scheduled to be put into space soon, learn coordina-
tion of movement and balance in a highly pressurized cabin
of an Air Force C-131 transport while flying at an altitude of
18,000 feet. The astronauts were put into a state of weight-
Ire2nes by means of an aerial maneuver,
truck's engine as one of the
other's rushed over to rescue her.
The whole structure trembled
beneath her as the rhino strug-
gled :Free and made off.
The steering wheel was buck-
led, the dashboard was bent and
the upholstery in shreds, She'd
been sitting there at the wheel
only a few seconds before the
rhino landed right on the seat.
On another occasion a four -foot
tall baboon ran wild in an
Italian's lumber yard, kiwi king
over atacko of wood mid pulling
elates off the roof of his house.
"I1ease come and help me,"
begged the owner, "If I don't
get rid of this ape, my wife
threatens to leave me."
She and Maroellus trial to
catch it in a net, but it was too
quick for them. So she put a lot
of fruit in the back of their truck
as bait, left the door open and
waited for greed to get the bet-
ter of him, For about two hours
he circled it, suspecting a trap,
then edged up cautiously to the
fruit,
Knowing it was her only
chance, She dived, grabbed him
by the scruff of the neck with
one hand, clutched his behind
with the other, tossed him into
the back of the truck before he
could bite, and slammed the door
on him.
The Italian was so grateful
that he flung his arms round her
and began kissing her passion-
ately on the lips - until she
fended hiss off and reminded
him that he had a wife he didn't
want to lose!
Pluck! For a lone woman in
the wilds she was a prodigy. IIer
exploits will thrill all lovers of
African adventure - especially
women,
How Can 1?
By Roberta Lee
Q. What can I do about some
honey that has become grainy?
A. Set the container in a
saucepan of hot water, with a
couple of sticks of wood under
the container to keep the water
circulating under it, and let it
stand for several hours. Keep the
water hot, but not boiling, and
the honey should return to nor-
mae
Q. How can I prevent steel -
wool pads from rusting so quick-
ly once they have been used?
A. Fill a plastic cup or a glass
jar with a solution of soap and
water and drop the pad into this
after it has been used, This will
ward of± rust and a possible in-
fection if the dishwasher hap-
pens to have a cut on his or her
hand.
Q. How can 1 remove the stains
from my hands after hulling ber-
ries?
A. Moisten some cornmeal
with vinegar and rub this over
the stains.
Q. How can I remove stains on
pre dishes?
A. Oven -browned stains on
those dishes can be easily re-
moved by soaking in a strong
solution of borax and water.
Q, How can I straighten out
some warped phonograph re-
cords?
A. One way to do this is to
immerse your records in hot
water (about 150 degrees) in a
shallow flat -bottom pan, Then in-
vert a dinner plate over the re-
cord, a plate whose diameter per-
mits its edge to contact only the
outer edge of the record. Place
a one -pound weight on the plate
and leave the record under pres-
sure until the water has cooled
to room temperature,
Q. How can I remove Lea
stains from chinaware?
A. Salt and vinegar usually
does a fine job of this.
Q. How can I give myself a
quick facial beauty treatment?
A. Beat the white of an egg
until it's stiff. Rub this on the
face and throat and leave it
there until it dries. Then remove
with warm water, and you'll be
pleased with the results.
