Image description

In the lions' den to save a boy. A young explorer, Tony Murphy, was visiting with others the Whipsnade Zoo (London) when, evading the surveillance of Rev. Ronald Aylward who accompanied them, he bypassed the protection gate and descended in the pit where four lions were. One of these came against him and he would have eaten it if the priest had not thrown himself in the hole. Armed with an iron bar, he hit the beast in the head and managed to free the boy whose arms had to be amputated, however. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 17 June 1956.
