Livingstone Lion Encounter in Africa Endangers Explorer
The article recounts David Livingstone’s near-fatal clash with a wounded lion among the Bakadlas near Mabatsa, detailing the leap, grip, and shot attempt, the rescue by Mabalwe, and the lion’s final fall after bullets took effect. It notes the bite caused by the beast and Livingstone’s lingering pains, plus a later anecdote about James I appealing to a corporation and the Thames as a consolation to London merchants.
