LONG CYCLE JOB TO WORK.
ENGLISHMAN BRAVES LIONS.
An Englishman looking for a job cycled 600 miles through lion-in-fested country between Rhodesia and Tanganyika. He had neither gun nor camping equipment. He lived for the most part on rice. After riding about 500 miles he fell a victim to malaria, and had to break his journey at Kasama, where he spent three weeks in hospital. When he had recovered he resumed the journey, and reached ' a little mining settlement in Southern Tanganyika—to the astonishment of the diggers and traders there, who knew that no white man lived within 50 miles to the south. The Englishman sold his bicycle next morning, bought a pick, two pans and some camping kit—and went off to the Lupu River to pan for gold.
