AN ADVENTURE WITH AN L•PHANT

elephant-shots affect heavy guns. I think them titter
nuisances. Their weight fags you and heats you, and at
times you find yourself before an elephant with scarcely
power to lift them. I remember once coming hurt iediy
on an elephant with nothing but a single bush between us,
and firing a shot from toy heavy Nock, which, instead of
the temple, struck the e; ,r of the an'mal, wi en she turned
slap on me. and I litetally•was not abler- get tl,e internal

course did her no harm. I had to bolt. In ten seconds
I was down—her trunk twiddled about my legs, and, but
for a friend who came up at the moment, and floored her
as she was on her knees paying every possible attention !o
me, I should most probably have been expended. I have
since found myself mote than half dead atter a pursuit. in
which I ha•l carried a heavy gun ; and as light ones do
their work, I know no advantage the heavier have, unless
it be tat they may rossihly stun or stultify, cr. pet baps,
now and theu kill a very big elephant. when the light ones
would not. But this is a bare and rare impossibility ;
while the inconvenience and nuisance of c.:r, sing the hea-
vies is incontestibie and never-ceasing. Although a sin-
gle elephant will often take all you can give him, the bat-
tery I recommend is chit& desirable in dealing wi h a
herd, both as regards the number you may kiU, te:d the
chance of fresh elephants coming on you after you have
discharged three or four barrels, esiteci .11y as these latter
are usually ill-disposed and resolute. The two steady
fellows who carry your spare Runs must be in4tructed to
keep fiery close, and by no mewls to allow their zeal to
bring themselves into action.—Fraser': Magazine.
