ExpSorer Photographs Rare Sable Antelope in Africa
new York (UJO The best
wajr to "shoot" a giant sable
antelope In Africa is to track
down a couple of bulls locking
horns in battle and move in
cautiously with a camera for
the;"kilL"
. Explorer Quentin Keynes has
just returned from central An
gola in Portuguese West Africa
where he led a small expedition
over a thousand miles straight
to a herd of 30 giant sables. He
photographed these African rari
ties for the first time, alive and
unwounded, from 100 yards.
Keynes, a youthful British ex
plorer living in New York, is a
great-grandson of Charles Dar
win, author of the famous "Orig
in of the Species," and a nephew
of John Maynard Keynes, Brit
ish economist.
Found Between Riven "
" The giant sable antelope is
found only between two rivers,
30 miles apart, in Angola, Key
nes said. It was first discovered
by Frank Varian, who shot one
and sent it to the British Mu
seum where it was identified in
1916 as -a separate species and
named Hippo tragus Niger Vari
ant. ' It was the last major animal
to be discovered in Africa. Since
then, the sable has been shot
mainly by aristocratic sports
man. Count Yebes' kill, in 1949
had a record horn-spread of
inches. These large, curved, ring
ed horns are longer than the
beast is high.
Keynes, accompanied v by- a
Portuguese naturalist, a British
sportsman, and two native track
ers, found most Africans lyague
about the location , of the giant
sable. The expedition finally es
tablished headquarters at Ka-
malanga, a camp which had been
specially built for Count Yebes.
The first day out, Keynes and
his band spotted their elusive
quarry, but for each step they
took forward the wary herd took
a simultaneous step away until
night fell.
After spending a fitful night
in the hut surrounded by roar
ing lions, the party started hunt
ing the sable , the second day,
and found another 'herd 600
yards off. Luck was with them
two bulls started to fight so fur
iously that the herd moved off
and - Keynes moved in to the
100-yard range.
He shot the whole battle in
colored still and motion pictures
for 20 minutes
Keynes said his are the first
pictures ever taken of such a
fight. After "shooting" these
sables, Keynes received a letter
from : their discoverer, Frank
Varian, now a 78-year-old resi
dent of Capetown. Keynes .went
out of his way by 2,000 miles
en route to New York to visit
Varian. ..
Adventure. Nothing New"'
"I first got the grand sable
bug five years ago and hap
pened to ' meet most of those
who had shot the beast," Key
nes explained. "My enthusiasm
is for any rare and vanishing
living thing, be it flora or fauna,
that people generally don't know
about or haven't seen photo
graphed." , ,- :
Such an adventure is nothing
new to Keynes. He has made
four trips to Africa and India
since 1948, as well as to Napo
leon's exiled island of St. Hel
ena. He is a member of the Ex
plorers Club, the Adventurers
Club, and the Royal Geograph
ical Society. v ,
On Keynes way to India, he
stopped off at Mauritius, an is
land in the Indian Ocean, to
photograph the final . stamping
ground of the dodo bird, extinct
since 1691. He spent four months
there because "I wanted to see
the island where the dodo
lived." ..-i-iWV;-;;

: It was Dr. Samuel Johnson

hope over experience." Never-

: cessful second marriages is higher
than that of first marriages.
More women are now marrying
for the second time than ever
before. One sixth of all recent
brides in the U. S. A. have been
widows or divorcees. A young
and comely widow or a glamor
ous divorcee is terrific competi
tion for a bachelorette in a bat
tle for an eligible male. The

Are you a psychomat? In ease
you don't know, that is a term
applied to people whose minds
strongly influence their bodies.
For example, a man who gets
indigestion when his mother-in-
law comes, to spend a weekend
at his house is a psychomat. So
is a fellow who gets a headache
or loses his appetite when he
