RHINOCEROS THREATENS GOVERNOR.—Sir Patrick Renison, the Governor of Kenya (second from right), spent 20 anxious minutes on top of this crate after he and other officials had been threatened by an angry rhinoceros. The Governor had just opened a new game observation lodge in the forest on the Mount Kenya foothills. The animal, a one-and-a-half-ton female, had been released from the 8ft. crate and was expected to go to a nearby pool, but instead it wandered round before going off into the forest.
