“BOMBER”
HAIL AND FAREWELL. “Bomber,” the lion cub mascot of the South African Air Force reported to have met a tragic end, just disappeared into the bush. It was from the bush that he walked into the airmen’s lives. A. soldier, states a correspondent in a South African paper, was standing in his hut, I am told, devoid of many garments and intent on his mail. Suddenly he had the sensation of a rasp being passed across his anatomy. It was Bomber. Persuaded to depart, he caused havoc in the .native section of the camp. After eating their food, he curled up on the stretcher of an indisposed officer. Thereafter the camp was Bomber’s home. He was 10 to 12 months old when he Was lost.
