A nice copy in the scarce dust jacket. "Treatt tried his hand at hunting elephant with a spear along the upper reaches of the Nile, concluding that 'there is more sportsmanship in attacking an elephant with a spear than in shooting it with a high-precision rifle...' (!) There is, however, one chapter on hunting elephant with a rifle, with another on lion" (Czech). Czech, Africa, p. 287.
