Synopsis

From about forty yards away came a tremendous snorting -- more like that of an engine getting a heavy train under weigh than anything else in the world.

A great crashing followed. Before I could even get up, the bush behind me burst asunder, and there appeared not eight yards from me the great horn and wicked twinkling eye of a charging rhinoceros.

Allan Quatermain has determined to go farther afield than he had ever traveled before, into the depths of the African jungle -- on a march inland to the hills between lands controlled by the chiefs Wambe and Nala. Quatermain has heard of the elephants dwelling in the dense forests at the foot of the mountains edging Wambe's lands -- and also stories of Wambe himself, so ruthless a ruler he murdered in cold blood an entire party of English party who, seven years before, entered his country to hunt elephants.
