morning the animal managed to effect
his escape from his companions and paid
avisit to house with which his memory
had a pleasant associations little shop
at the corner of Market street. On ar
irving at the place the elephant found
that it was closed, but nothing daunted,
he cody lifted the door off its hinges
and helped himself literally to the CON
tents of the shop, potatoes apples and
sweets. When he had either satisfied his
appetite or had exhausted the supply of
good things, he retraced his steps, and
on the return journey he was met by his
keepers who had in the meantime be-
come aware of his absence.
The animal in question visited Hythe
about eleven or twelve years ago, and
when passing this house was treated by
its then tenant to good meal of pota-
toes. This seemed to have left so good
an impression on the animals mind that
he was led to pay another visit to so
pleasant spot with the result recorded
above. About the same time next morn
ing he again got away, and was making
for the same place, but was discovered
by his keeper before he had gone far on
his expedition.
