before my astonished sight the two
natives who had been with us in the
morning.
They carried torches and were con-

Here is what | learned:
"A sharp prod had been fastened to

needed my additional weight to drive
the animal frantic.
Also, the fastenings of the howdah
| had been weakened purpOsely, that IT
might be more easily knocked off. Evi-

a few feet away what appeared TO be an
opening in the ground. 1t appeared to
be a narrow chasm about the width of

reach it, | thought Perhaps it might
be an avenue of escape, Perhaps, too,
