A single harsh, high trumpet soon informed
the herd that all was safe, and they quickly
joined their scout. This band was composed
of two families, each containing several gen.
erations, the second one being led by another
patriarch nearly equal to the first in size. A
family is the constant unit of all elephantine

these break up they resolve themselves into
those natural groups again.
OF course, we desired to shoot the big
tuskers, but, as if 'designedly, they continu-
ally faced us. There is no way to kill an
elephant instantly except by ball through
its brain; but while in India the forehead
shot can almost always be made, here it be-
comes impossible-or at least only two in
stances of success are on record.
