bringing us face to fsce with q tame elr-
plant, unaccompanied by any aitendan'.

halt, the elephant raised his head, recnn-

down the timber, and voluntarily forced
himself backward among the hrushwood

expected US to avail ourselves. My
lorse hesitated; the elephant observed
it, and impatiently thrust himself deep

balance it on its tusks, and resume its
route as before, hoarsely snoiting its
