Story OF an Elephant Funeral.

STORY OF an Elephant r uhcf2ls
The st. James Gazette prints tho following
letter from planter in Ceylon, giving a
remarkable account Of the removal of the
body of dead elephant by it's comrades Of
the herd:
Il went after herd Of eight elephants,
and came up with them about 8 p. m. After
stalking l got chance at the one which
seemed about the biggest Of the herd, and
dropped it at the first shot. /: turned out
to be big COW elephant. About two hours
afterward bad the tail and fest cut off and
taken to the bungalow. Ne1t morning I
went to the spot to look at the elephant and
found her, or what remained Of her, non est.
After looking around, saw the herd had
been around during tbs night and soon dis
covered track where they seemed to have
retired in a body. l followed this through q
thick bamboo jungle, and about 500 yards
further on, came upon the dead elephant,
lying in the bottom of a rocky stream.
Judging from appearances, the body OF
the elephant had been carried to the top of tho
bank, and from there rolled into the stream.
From the tracks it was plain that the body
had not been rolled, but carried to the bank,
and 1T was plain that it had been rolled
through the managraks, which grows on the
sides of the stream The jungle through
which the body was brought to the stream
was very heavy, with bamboos growing
close, and the track which the elephants
made was several yards wide. Some sur
prise was expressed at the circumstances by
my neishbors till l showed them where the
elephant had been shot and where its tail and
feet haG been cut of and whore the body lay
IN the stream, which proved eonclusiveiy
that by some means or other the body had
got over the intervening space in the night"
1t is difficult TO understand how elephants
with their trunks and feet could raise and
support the dead body Of conrade How
ever, they seemed TO have managed it.
