in reaching a favorite ground for elephants, bis guides left the bunter at midnight, returning in their canoe. ‘‘After floundering about for some time,’’ be says, ‘“‘lat length found an elephant path. The cane was trodden

essiul

| into the sodden ground about four feet

in width, and the path led straight across the middle of the bamboo patch. On either side of the path the cane grew so thickly that I found it almost impos-

| sible to penetrate. A storm was raging.

I distinctly beard elephants forcing their way through the forest in order evidently to reach some open space

| where they might be safe from falling | trees.

‘*In the intermittent flashes of light- bing I occasionally got a giimpse of their great, ghostly forms approaching

the cane patch, and as the storm in

| creased in fury the sound of elephants } stampeding in all directions through the

i

thick mass of bamboes impressed me in a most uncomfortable manner. Each moment I feared being trampled. The floundering, heavy footsteps occasional- ly seemed to approach within a few yards of me, and I distinctly heard the frightened squeals of baby elephauts as they plunged and stumbled in the swamp.

*‘Tbe storm ceased as suddenly as it came, and in the subseqnent lull there was a constant dripping of water in the forest and the sound of falling branches. The elephants appeared to be standing motionless, and the air was once again fi..ed with the eternal music of mosqui- toes.

‘*With the first indication of dawn my spirits rose, and I carefully wiped the mud from my rifle with the ragged sleeve of my shirt. While it was still too dark to distinguish the surround- ings, I could plainly hear elepbants stirring in all directions. Crawling some little distance along the sloppy path, I suddenly distinguished the out- line of av elephant’s Lead and back cut- ting sharp aguinst the gray morning sky. It was impossible in that light to estimate distance.

**Creeping cautiously forward, I was startled two or three times by a low, rambling sound peculiar to elephants, and which is in some way connected with their digestion. The cane patch appeared to be a perfect haven of refrgu for elephants during the storm, for-cn every side there came audible evideuces of their presence.

‘*When within what I judged to be 20 paces of my elephant, I was just able to discern his ears, flapping spasmud- ically to beat off the mosquitoes and sand flies that bovered around him, and his trunk swinging listlessly among the trampied cane, as if in search of some- thing edible. Gradually I noticed a cer- tain restiveness, as though the animal was conscious of danyer. Raising his truvk in the air, be sniffed in various directions until his head was turned straight toward me.

**Realizing that my presence was dis- covered and that there was not an in- stant to lose, I took a steady aim at his left shoulder and fired. The recoil of my eight bore rifle knocked me back- ward, and asI struggled in the cane en- tangled slush, enveloped in smoke, I was conscious of a deafening uproar. The rifle report echoed strangely through the forest, and the startled elephants charg- ed madly forward in every direction, crashing through the dense foliage like giant locomotives.

**By the time I regained my feet anc had run aside to be clear from the smoke [ found my elephant slowly ris- ing from the ground. - By this time I Was within 15 paces of the beast an& fully realized the necessity of firing a fatal shot. Trembling with excitement, I fired point blank at the animal’s fore- head, and, quickly stooping below the smoke, I caught sight of a jet of blood spurting from the wound, while the ponderous beast slowly sank to the ground again—dead.

‘*Reloading in haste, I took two snap shots at an elepbant rushing past me, without other effect, however, than to stop his progress. ment gazing at me and twitching his tail. Owing to wet or dirt I found diffi- culty in opening my rifle, and in spite of frantic efforts I could not make the lever act. I can well recall the feeling of blank despair when the wounded beast, with coiled trunk and ears erect, rusbed forward with a shrill scream.

**I darted aside and fortunately fel), lost to view in a 8wauip hole, complete- ly covered with a mass of vines and branches. There I lay breathless for some moments, listening to the floun- derings of the wounded elephant. At length the noise died away, and with daylight all was still again.’’
