...there is a rope, and at its other end is a floating gourd. The hunter holds it, and the gourd remains floating on the surface of the water, moving towards the place where the animal is. The hunters follow its course. Then, they see two animals in small boats. The hunter pulls the rope, and the animal emerges its head from the water. At that moment, they strike it with spears from all sides, causing it to dive. Then it emerges again from another side, and they strike it as well. And so they continue this process for several hours until it dies. They drag it to the shore, cut it up, and divide it amongst themselves. Then, after continuing our journey, we reached Dongola an hour before sunset and spent the night there. In the morning, the prince went and hunted an animal called a "tibtil". After resting for an hour, we headed towards Marit and reached it before sunset, spending the night there. The next day, the prince went to the nearby plains and hunted three tibtil, then returned at sunset. We then proceeded to Malut and hunted an animal called "Abuthamat". We arrived in front of Jebel Gamar and Jebel Juni on the second day, the 11th of Safar, year 13... Ahmed Agha, and the Prince ordered the steamer to stop. They went ashore with their servants, hunting equipment, and necessary tools for hunting lions. They took a goat with them and tied it to the foot of the mountain at a distance from them. They set a trap for the lions, which they call the "goat trap". The method of luring is to tie the goat tightly so that it suffers, and due to the intensity of the pain, the goat cries out continuously. The hunter hides in a place from which he cannot be seen. When the lion hears its cries, it comes towards it to prey on it. At that moment, the hunter aims at it and shoots. When they did not find any lions that night, in the morning they found other animals. They hunted three wild cows and two gazelles and returned at sunset. The princes who accompanied His Highness Prince Bosmkal Pasha for hunting are mentioned: Prince Wundschkirens, Prince Wundschkirens, Count Henkel Donnersmarck, Count Kiza Andrassy, and Doctor Dendria and Kazem Bey.
