An African hunting party encounters a massive lion that attacks a man, pins him, and mauls his arm. The survivor describes the struggle, the lion’s calm ferocity, and the man’s near death while begging through the ordeal to be saved by mercy and divine intervention.
Missionary notice for Oct. 1830 describes a man attacked by a lion while traveling with companions. The beast maimed his arm, the hunter nearly devoured him, prayer and a delaying amputation debate followed. The patient refused immediate removal, later healing began, offering hope of full recovery. Dr. Gautier aided, man survived, children rely on his labor.
