P. Dutton and Company, 1895 N2 - "Hunters Three: Sport and Adventure in South Africa" by Thomas W. Knox is a historical adventure narrative written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the exhilarating hunting exploits of a group of young men, primarily following the characters Frank, Harry, and Jack, as they navigate the challenges of big-game hunting in South Africa while also engaging with two British women, Miss Boland and Mrs. Roberts, who are equally adventurous. The narrative promises a blend of thrilling encounters with wildlife and personal dynamics among the hunters. The opening of the text sets the stage for an action-packed journey, beginning with Frank, Harry, and Jack preparing to hunt elephants after an abrupt interruption to their breakfast. They learn from a native tracker that a group of elephants is nearby, and the excitement of the chase quickly eclipses their hunger. As they venture into the forest, Frank highlights the dangers of elephant hunting through a personal anecdote about a friend's ill-fated encounter with a wounded elephant. The stage is established for adventure, emphasizing the mix of hunting prowess, camaraderie, and unexpected encounters, notably with the female hunters, as they all navigate the perils and excitement of the African wilderness.
