Chandler - Jock Rattray was a professional hunter based at Isiolo in the 1920s and working for the firm of Safariland Ltd. Rattray was at the centre of one of the many scandals that were constantly cropping up in the hunting business. Viscount Furness, like many of his class, enjoyed an annual big-game hunting safari in East Africa. Furness always brought along his wife and his teenage daughter, a tomboy named Averill, and always engaged Jock Rattray as his white hunter. The expeditions lasted 6 weeks and were cheerful, successful affairs, at least until 1934. That year a deep affection grew between Rattray and young Averill, and the two lovers ran off and eloped.
Furness originally vowed to shoot Rattray on sight but then settled for disinheriting his daughter and placing an advertisement in the 'East African Standard' that Rattray was no longer his professional hunter. Rattray had a team of Grevy zebras that he trained to pull a buggy; he owned a farm and frequently caught wild animals and sold them to American zoos. He was badly injured by a wounded leopard in the early 1920s.
