The following morning Jim left our tent with ashotgun in hand to perform nature’s call in thejungle. About five minutes later I heard a loudscream and yelling. Running out of the tent andlooking toward the jungle, I saw Jim sprinting upthe hill in a stooped position with his underpantsat his ankles. With one hand he was trying to pullup his underpants and in the other hand he wasdragging the shotgun. When he got back to thetent he looked like he had seen a ghost. After acup of tea to steady his frazzled nerves, Jimexplained that when he entered the jungle hesquatted adjacent to a tree to relieve himself.While he was squatting there in blissful peace,over his right shoulder he heard, “Weee, weee,weee!” With a loud, fearful, and primordial yellhe launched himself from a squatting positionand ran for his life!Boa Territory, River Cess Station, Liberia
