...Apted, armed like a battleship, go the honors of the chase. First, he calmly surveyed the scene from the haven of a first floor window. Then with set and courageous mien he stalked his prey over the parapet and emptied the contents of his two black six shooters into the quivering flesh. Satisfied by the sound of the six shots which evidently startied the skunk into a corpse, Apted, still calm, ordered his minions to inter the deceased in the midst of the stench-stained scene of carnage.

Other animals which appear in Wild Cargo are flying foxes, water buffalo, mouse-deer, gibbons, orangutans, tapirs. Most appealing are a white Rhesus monkey and a honey bear engaged in a calm, incompetent wrestling bout; most alarming, the python who slithers forlornly through Wild Cargo, strangling a black panther, frightening a mouse-deer, biting Frank Buck. The python ends in a cage as does an Indian rhinoceros whose capture, when he has eluded Buck's wire corral and stumbled foolishly into...
