Night in the pit with a lion in South Africa
In a perilous spring and jungle chase, the narrator and crew pursue a man-eating lion. A brutal pit trap fails, the beast enters, the lion mauls, and a shot from Hecklinger saves the narrator. Rescued, the crew recover, and the lion’s cub is captured. The narrator later ships the cub to a showman.
