with trackers fearing that the
worst might have happened to

Eventually they came to the

ravine could hear Norton call-
ing for help, lie lay buried un-

He had shot a prize bull-ele-

tusks when suddenly he was
charged by the infuriated herd.
Instinctively he ran for the river
and slid down its bank, which
was too steep for them to fol-
low, But that did not deter them
from trying to settle the score.
He found himself being cov-
ered by an avalanche of branches
and young trees which they were
tossing down on him in an effort
to bury him alive! The assault
lasted until darkness set in, when
the herd moved away. t took
Burger and his boys more than
an hour to free Norton.
Burger was working in a min-
ing camp on the Lupa goldfields,
Tanganyika, when illness con-
fined him to his bed. His only
helper was an old native cook
named Dan who claimed that
he'd cooked for Dr. Livinstone
and seen the historic meeting
with Stanley in 1871. Burger of-
ten needed his help at night, but
once he'd fallen asleep only a
charge of dynamite could
awaken him, so Burger tied one
end of a length of twine to one
of Dan's toes, the'other to 'a four-
gallon tin of water mounted on
a bracket over his head. If pull-
ing string No. 1 was ineffective,
Burger was determined to try
No. 2.
One daybreak, after a sleepless
night, he managed to wake Dan
with No. 2 and ordered him to

"'African Adventures", O n e
morning in Elizabethville
passed a handcart with coffin
aboard, A sorrowing husband
Was burying his wife, and the
funeral procession had halted
outside a pub to "drown" their
sorrow. Two days later be Pass-
ed the same procession two
streets farther down town, The
mourners were then inside the
last bar but one en route to the
cemetery.
Burger's most astonishing en-
counter was with "Professor IVIor-
risey," the world's greatest snake
man, in Durban, His act consist-
ed in taking the bites of the infest
poisonous reptiles, including a
twelve-foot deadly King Cetera
of India, but he said he wanted
to procure black and green mam-
bas and open his show by taking
the bite from the black mamba,
Africa's deadliest, most feared
reptile, aptly called "the shadow
of death," •
Burger took him out to the
sugar plantations of Natal's
north coast, where he caught a
seven-foot green mamba — and
brought it back in the rickshaw,
pushed into his shirt, with his
belt ,and buttons securely fasten-
ed and.a tie round his neck, to
make sure it didn't escape.
He the nannounced that he
would take its bite the next
' evening, and his tent was packed
to suffocation by a crowd intent
en seeing what a man looks like
when he dies from mamba bite.
Holding it firmly in his right
hand before the spellbound audi-
ence, Morrisey pushed his left
forearm under its snout. As the
fangs fastened on it, he released
his hold with the right hand, and
for some seconds the mamba
hung suspended, with the fangs
deeply embedded.
The jaws were then gently re-
leased, the snake replaced in its
cage, and he held out his arm
for inspection. Blood began to
flow from the deep punctures,
which he cauterized, then poured
some serum into the wounds,
saying he hoped to see them all
back the next night, when he
would take a 'bite from a puff-
adder.
A few minutes later he slump-
ed to the ground, showing all the
signs of neurotoxic poisoning:
troubled breathing, dilated eyes,
rapid pulse and 'arm pains. Then
he complained of a feeling of
suffocation and failing sight; but
he refused to have a doctor
called.
The next morning Burger was
amazed to find him sitting in his
tent, taking tea. He didn't put on
a show far 'a farther two days,
then took the puff-adder's bite as
promised.
His incredible resistance to the
most deadly snake-venom, Bur-
ger says, puzzled doctors. To
satisfy sceptical onlookers, one
night he allowed the mamba to
bite astray dog. It died within
half-an-hour, and cost him a $30
fine.
He had (complete faith in a
serum which he claimed was in-
fallible against all :snake-poisons,
but as this was never injected,
only poured into the wounds,
Burger doubts its neutralizing
properties, believing that over
many years Morrisey had sys-
tematically immunized himself.

of its adventures and makes first-

Girls Who -Rose To Emergencies
A burglar stole in to the
dormitory of a girls' boarding
school in Yorkshire. One girl,
aroused by stealthy movements,
screamed to warn the others,
leapt out of bed, rushed to the
door and put her back to it, so
barring his escape. She also
switched on the light.
Inspired by her action, her
four companions, all plucky and
pretty teenagers, made a rush for
the man in their pyjamas. As he
slipped on the polished floor,
they sat on him until help came.
In a more 'desperate emer-
gency, a yung South African
girl, Carol Cuttleway of Tur-
fonteim, found herself stacked
by a rogue baboon just as she
was getting into her car. The
animal partially clawed oaf her
dress.
Nevertheless, the struggled
into her driver's seat. The mon-
key leapt into the seat behind
her. Very much frightened, she
drove a few yards.
Then a brilliant idea occurred
to her: the fire.extinguisher. She
stopped the car, seized it, swung
round, and gave the gaping ba-
boon the works — a mouthful
of chemical foam. He hopped
over the side at once and she
drove away unscathed.
. Resourcefulness in times of
danger, is known to be no mascu-
line prerogative. In a Displaced
Persons camp near Munich a
welfare worker was confronted
by a hysterical mother. "I've
locked my two children in a
room and set it alight! It's burn-
ing now! We've no focd!" she
screamed.
The welfare worker, a young
French girl, Marie Anjouin, at
once called a Hungarian refu-
gee to help her and rushed to
the hut. Smoke was pouring from
its window. Inside, she heard
cries and moans.
Marie wrenched, the window
open and, as smoke cascaded
out, ordered the Hungarian to
hoist her into it. Choking with
smoke, she gathered up the two
terror-stricken children, snatch-
ing one from the very edge of
a. blazing hearthrug and handed
them out, of the opening. Then,
with great presence of mind, for
`there was an invalid, bed-rid-
den woonan next door, she stamp-
ed out the flames.
Through her promptness two
children were saved, their over-
wrought mother was spared a
criminal' charge, and a terrible
fire, which might hive brought
down the whole camp, was
averted.
Some nurses at a South'Lon-
don hospital, set a neat -- and
sticky — booby trap for a Peep-
ing Tom. Worried,by the man's
attentions, they decided to -scare
him off. They knew the tree into
which he clinked to. sipy through
their hostel windows. They dis-
covered, in fact his exact perch-
ing place and, in daylight, fixed
above it a sizeable tin operated
by 'an almost invisible wire.
Then, that ,night,' girl acted
as decoy. She began to undress
slowly in front of a lighted win-
dow. So enthralled was Peeping
Tom that he failed to hear the
wire being pulled from an ad-
joining window until it was too
late and tar had splashed over
him from the upturned can.
Covered in tar he bolted and
never showed his face there
again.
Nowadays, courses of unarmed
combat form part of every police
girl's training — as many crooks,
thugs, bullies and even agressive
drunks have discovered,.
Once, in the days before this
training became general, a police
girl on duty at Leeds City Sta-
tion trapped her man by a boldly
unorthodox leap. At her chal-
. lenge, the quarry, a notorious
railway thief, moved as if to
bolt.
Dropping his packages, he
braced his back.
At that split second, with re-
markable agility, the police girl
leap-frogged on to him, clung to
his neck and pulled him to the
ground.
Resourcefulness pays, particu-
larly in war time, when many a
girl agent owed her life, and
the safety of her circle, to her
quick thinking.
A French - Canadian agent,
known as Jolette, was coming
out of a restaurant in Rochelle,
France, when two plain-clothes
members of the Gestapo stopped
her.
"You will accompany us for
interrogation at once" they or-
dcred curtly,
On her she carried a note re-
porting German troop locations
and equipment — it was only
a few weeks before D-Day —
to the local Resistance move- ,
irent. It would be fatal, she
knew, for her to be taken With
that vital information.
"You must permit me fi.m.t
to buy Myself some neW stoek-
ings," she said, showing them a
laddered Steckipg on a shapely
leg. "Herr Cotriniancient," she
added, not wish to see me
incorrectly dressed,"
The police escorted her to a
near-by shop and watched her
closely while she seelcted an ex-
pensive Pair.
But they never guessed that
the secret Message had sefely

Auguste glanced at his watch,

curious fish pause at the window
of the gondola, investigating this
strange monster that was invade

passed the portholes, one of the
men the professor had detailed

He gave them no instructions

Drank Poison To
Prove Innocence
'Trial by ordeal, once com-
monplace, still crops up over-
seas, and no always in primi-
tive communities. The latest ex-
ample comes from Nyasaland,
where, because of a child's sud-
den death, a bitter quarrel broke
out between two women, the
child's mother and her sister.
The mother accused the other
of having planted a spell on
her baby'.
To settle their differences and
Mad out the real culprit, the
child's grandmother resorted to
traditional justice arid prepared
cups of muabvi, a virulent poi-
son distilled from the bark of
the swamp - growing muabvi
tree.
According to some ancient but
deeply-rooted tribal lore, when
this liquor is drunk to separate
guilty from innocent parties, the
innocent ones always escape any
punishment by vomiting up the
poison. The guilty ones, how-
ever, writhe in agony arid die.
In this test ease, the grand-
mother herself decided to take
a cup, too, probably to exhibit
her Path in the validity of the
poison as an instrument of jus-
tice,
So all three quaffed their
drinks. The grandmother and

mother survived.
