... remembering two of the most feared man-eating lions of the 19th century, “The Ghost and the Darkness”, who were immortalised in Col. John Henry Patterson’s famous book ‘The Man-Eaters of Tsavo’. Each rifle bears its unique series number in gold on the floor plate, along with detailed engraving of the infamous pair of maneless lions. Their names – “The Ghost” and “The Darkness” – are inscribed on the Tsavo’s EAW swing-off scope rings, and the identity of their eventual nemesis – J. H. Patterson – is set into the bolt handle, along with their reported number of their victims (135).
Were the lions ever actually called "the ghost" and "the darkness" in "Man-eaters of Tsavo", Patterson's book?
