Chased by an Anaconda in African Lion Hunt Tale
A Birmingham business man recounts his African hunting exploits in South Africa. He describes a dramatic 16 mile chase on a pony by an enormous anaconda, estimated 40 feet long, with rival Englishmen and natives in the party. The race ends with the snake unable to coil and the pony finishing the escape in camp.

A reform is proposed to ease this burden.
