VII.A CROCODILE HUNT.
29.Crocodile hunting is practiced in many (and) different ways. The huntsman lowers into the middle of the liver a pigskin, fastened on a hook for a bait. He himself on the river bank whips a young pig. The crocodile, hearing its screams, runs towards the noise. But falling in with the pigskin, he swallows it, and is soon hauled to land. The huntsman plasters with mud the eyes of the crocodile (when) drawn on land. It is then very easily killed.
