ELEPHANT BURIED AT SEA.
Topsy Died of Pneumonia and Was
Cast Overheard.
(New York SUM-


Two East Indian baby elephants and
six yards of somnolent boa constructor,
which had been digesting a late supper
of chickens and a dog introduced into
its system two months ago, arrived yes
terday from Calcutta aboard the steam
ship Ockenfels.
Originally there were three elephants
but The eldest, a mischievous youngster
3h years old, died of pneumonia and was
buried at sea. He was called Topsy de-
spite his sex, and, with his fellow pachy-
derms had the liberty of the ship from
port to port, climbing up on the bridge
with as much agility as a top sawyer.
The elephants did not like the boa
which was unobtrusive, not to say dead
to the world, covered with blankets and
hay in box, dreaming of it's next meal.
The captain was sorry to lose Topsy,
who was the life of the ship. He was
the greatest clown elephant out of a
circus and enjoyed his pranks like a
lively schoolboy. He had a habit of
"hefting" members Of the crew with his
trunk, always letting them down gently,
but making them feel uncomfortable for
moment. He fell in love with the cook,
like sensible elephant, and regularly
visited the galley putting his trunk
.iioo5h q Poil loI udlIliGS. Inc entic-
| Ing odor of hot soup caused him to din
his trunk into the pot one day. There
| was below, and several gallons of SOUP
were spattered against the wall of the
| galley and over the cook. Topsy had a
sweet oil diet for several days there
| after.
All hands assembled in the waist of
the ship when Topsy's carcass. raised
by a derrick, was swung out over the
rail-. He was a heavy infant for his
years, and made a great splash when
he hit the sea, throwing water all over
the mourners. They said 1t was Just
/ like him.
| Topsy and his junior rompers were In
charge OF Henry Farquaharson, a tea
planter of Assam, who brought an East
lndlan servant for each elephant The
servants speak only Hindustanee. After
they had gazed in open-m mouthAd wonder
at the tall towers of the town as the
steamship sailed up the North river
they looked at their master, shook theil
heads sadly and murmured:
Alas! when we go back to India ou
brethren will tell US we are liars!"
