they rushed towards the nearest elephant
for protection. 1t was very fine ami
NAL, but, unfortunately, q wild one,
which they mistook for friend. The
elephant was rather startled, aud did
not take so prompt an advantage OF
their mistake AS it might have done.
They meanwhile made some remarkably
good time towards the gate of the in
closure, which they reached in safety"
On another occasion, Mr.. Sanderson
himself had a very narrow escape.
While his elephant was facing a young
tusker, and was therefore unable to pro-
tect his master from the attack, wild
female rushed ut him more than once,
injured his thigh severely, and would no
doubt have killed him had not spear
struck her in the head at the critical mo-
ment, while a tame elephant, rushing at
the beast the next instant, almost knock
ed her over.
