MOUNTED PATROL
ADVENTURE IN AFRICA One of those venturesome people who seem unablo to settle down jn some conventional walk of 1 ift?, but who must instead ho seeking the unusual in the wilder parts of the world, is 1\ H. Combe, an Englishman*whose career as a member of the Khodesian Mounted Police is set out in " Hunting Beasts and Men." Leaving Sandhurst just too lato to take pait in tho Great War, tho author went to Africa in search ot adventure, and his book is ample proof that ho found it. Hunting, trading, diamond-prospecting and finally patrolling as a member of the mounted police, lie survived many strange experiences, and it is evident from tho concluding chapters of his book that he is still not satisfied. He speaks vaguely of exploring the Amazon, and tho finish of his story finds him tho possessor of a stout little boat that may at present be pushing its way against tho current of that mighty river. The African story is well illustrated with a number of interesting photographs. " lluntinß Boasts nnd Men," by P. H. Combo. (Robert Halo.)
