A PRINCE ELEPHANT HUNTING.
n arrow Escape for the Duke Of Abruy1
In Uganda.
FrOm the London Daily Graphie.

FROM the London Daily Graphic.
We have received the following extract
from a letter written by r. A. Knowles IN
Uganda describing an elephant hunt which
took place during the visit Of his Royal High
ness the Duke OF this Abruzzi TO Fort Portal
in Uganda:
The Duke was very anxious to shoot an
elephant. 80 / took him out to look for some
on our journey to the Uganda border. The
nrst day he was accompanied by most OF his
retinue, and l led them up TO q herd Of ele-
plants. The Duke wounded one beast. q
big bull, badly. We followed the tracks OF
blood for the greater part OF the day. but
eventually had 10 give 1t w The natives
found the poor animal dead some days later
and brought In the tusks. which weighed over
ninety pounds each and were Of an immense
size.
The second day the Duke insisted on going
out with me alone. as he said. very truly.
that II was impossible to hunt with 80 many
people. So we started out At day break for
A place where we were told We we're sure to
And some elephants. Al about 7 4. NJ. we
sighted a herd OF about twelve beasts stand
ing in thick cover, with IN old bull at some
little distance away from the rest. l pointed
out to the Duke that II was a risky place to
stalk them in, but he insisted on going. so
we made for the old. buH. which was a very
DNk jill WI va WY w beHDNN wv
close to the herd. which were on our left.
: Before we knew how close we were We found
ourselves within about ten PAGES OF the big
bull.
The Duke had asked me to Ere first. but in
order TO do 30 I had to get round a bush q bit
nearer still. The beast must have heard IN.
for he became on the alert and l saw his great
head be ginning to move. There was no time
TO wait longer and | fred at his left eye. He
vent over nat. making q tremendous below
ing. The rest OF the herd then began scream
ing and trumDetlng. and. as VIC heard after
ward from some OF our men standing on the
next hill. they crowded oun the wounded
elephant, helping him, along. This little
episode escaped our notice on account Of the
long grass, which hid the elephants from our
sight.
We now heard q tremendous noise. and
thought II must be the bull struggling on the
ground, but almost Immediately after there
was more belIo wins and a wild rush. and then
we saw the bushes and small trees falling
down in front OF us. and to our horror We
found that the whole herd were upon us.
There was nothing for II but to run. and I
guided the Duke to a small tree which stood q
| little 70 one side. We were only just In time,
