The Elephant at Bay.

Twenty years of experience tells me
that a whole regiment of lions cannot
produce the same moral effect as one
twelve-foot African tusker when he
cocks his big sail-like ears, draws him
self up to his full height and looks at
you, letting off at the same time
blood-curdling scream; while in all prob
ability others invisible to you are stam-
peding on all sides with the din and vi
bratien of an earthquake. Surrounded
in dense jungle by herd of elephants
they seem to block out the whole hori-
zon. One measured was actually six
teen feet from edge of ear to edge of
ear. No wonder my insignificant self
seemed to shrivel and my huge express
rife to dwindle into mere pea
shooter Try as l will ON such occa-
sions, / can never overcome my sense of
terror, and always feel inclined to throw
down my elephant gun and run for safe
ty till l drop. = w. G. Fitz- Gerald in

gradually worked his way up from this
low rung of the ladder TO one of the two
most important commands in the mer-
camille marine service of the world.
The keynote of his character is struck
in the remark said to have been made
