Did you ever elephant whipped? l
don't suppose you would ever forget ii If you
did They frequently do IL In lndia, because
elephants are very obstreperous at times.
Recently an elephant. Abdul. was convicted
by court martial tor killing his keeper, and
sentenced to fifty lashes and two years inn
prisonment.
Two elephants led Abdul to open space.
and I'm the presence of the whole battery the
punishment began. The culprit trumpeted IN
fear and made an unearthly noise.
There fourteen elephants on one side.
and the officers and men of the battery on the
other three. In the centre of this hollow square
stood Lalla (No. u, the nogger, and the prs-
oner. The latter was chained by the four legs
to as many heavy iron pegs, and could NOT
move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an immense
cable chain. When all was ready the major
gave the word and down came the chain with
q resounding whack. a bdul roared for all ne
worth. Fifty times was the operation re-
peated, and then Abdul was taken 10 a com
