In Dwarf Land and Cannibal Country

The author, a missionary, traveled through the Belgian Congo and into the border region with Uganda, northwest of Lake Victoria. There are numerous incidents of hunting antelope, as well as encounters with lion and leopard. Of particular interest are Lloyd’s hunts after elephant -- with a .303 rifle. As he noted, "I had always looked upon elephant hunting as being all right for those who were tired of life and longed to be freed from its worries. . . ." He also describes his time spent among cannibal and pigmy tribes of Central Africa, with additional comments on the terrain and climate of the region.
