Mahogany hunting is ono of the best paying professions. To fell a large mahogany tree is one day's task, for two men. On account of the wid'e spurs which project from the tiunk at its hase, scaffolds must be erected,- and the tree cut off above the spurs. The , hunter has nothing to do with the work 'of cutting or removing the timber. Ho merely points out the tree, and moves on in search of more. He is paid by results, and it is by no means unusual, for a clever hunter to draw £100 for a month's work in the forosts.
