HUNTING THE ELEPHANT.
A TERRIBLE FIGHT IN WHICH A
BRAVE BOY LOST HIS LIFE.
The American Field.

Sitting about the camp fires on
the banks of the Chobe river in
Africa, Prof. j. w. Edwards heard
the story OF an elephant hunt that
affected him more than any ex-
perience he ever passed through
Burns, trader in Natal, was the
author OF the narrative, and told it
az follows:

aud on one of my visits to Natal
was lmportuned by George Will
SOD, a lad of nineteen, the son of
an old schoolmate, to accompany
me on one of my tours. | obtain.

started. The boy was bright,
courageous lad, and was ambitious
to distinguish himself with his rifle.
Early one morning in Water Val
lev we saw herd of fifteen ele.
plants grazing about a mile from
US. We started them up, and,
picking ont a fine bull with good
tusks, | started to cut him off, aud
telling George to ride behind while
| charged them. Soon | had the
old fellow out of the pack, and
gave him a shot behind the ear
that staggered him a little. Then
we cross fired him for half an hour,
but could not get any good shots.
All at once the horse George was
riding stumbled, throwing him and
falling on bis leg. | was so horri.

finally, seeing Georges attempts
to extricate himself, / tried to draw
the elephants attention to me.
The brute was thoroughly enraged,
however, and charged for the lad,
just as he was getting or his feet.
Then followed one of the greatest
fights between man and brute !

elephant after him, while follow.

and did likewise. This checked
the brute for moment, but, seeing
George running again, he made q
furious charge and caught up with
him. Up went his trunk, and a
moment after the poor lad was
dead on the ground, crushed by
the blow. Not satisfied, the brute
began goring the lad in a frightful
manner. l rode up to the beast
and sent in two shots that brought
him to his knees. He tried to rise,
bat could not, and, after two or
three sobs, rolled over and died.
The poor lad was torn to pieces. L
placed the body across my horse,
chopped of the beasts tusks, and
rode back to camp. We buried
him near the springs, and piled
rocks over his grave TO keep the
wolves from getting at it. l took
the boys watch and chain, with
bis wearing apparel, to his mother,
