Chapter V
SOMETHING ABOUT A LION "They are certainly up to something," was Snap's comment. "Yes; and I'd give something to know just what it is," added the doctor's son. Having rested, Mr. Jally took the boys to the bank of the river and there showed them how to make a good picture with a strong reflection in the water. This was rather difficult because of the distribution of light over the plate. "Be careful when you point your camera toward the sun," said the photographer.
