Chandler - Sanderson was a distiller who became a professional hunter in Kenya in the 1920s. In 1924 he signed on with the Martin and Osa Johnson expedition that was filming near Lake Marsabit in northern Kenya. …………….. One of the other workers on the Johnson safari was a 17 year-old American boy named Beverly Hecksher Furber, a wild rich kid who was the son of one of the expeditions backers. Furber's assignment was to help Sanderson and also tend to general camp chores.

On 3 May 1925 Sanderson and Furber were directed by Martin Johnson to try to spook some rhinos out of a thicket just a quarter of a mile from the lake. They stumbled across three of the animals, one of which charged directly at them. Young Furber put 2 rounds into the rhino, but it managed to gore Sanderson in the thigh before dying. Sanderson was brought back to the Johnson camp at Marsabit, where he spent over a month recuperating. In need of further medical attention, he was then brought back to Nairobi in early June. Complications set in and he died in the hospital. Sanderson left a son, the best-selling naturalist and cryptozoologist Ivan Sanderson (1911-1973)
