As a matter of fact, it was some months before
the lions attacked us again, though from time to
time we heard of their depredations in other
quarters. Not long after our night in the goods-
wagon, two men were carried off from railhead,
while another was taken from a place called Engo-
mani, about ten miles away. Within a very short
time, this latter place was again visited by the
brutes, two more men being seized, one of whom
was killed and eaten, and the other so badly
mauled that he died within a few days.
