How Elephants Cross a River That
Has Steep Banks.

1t is a great sight to see a line of
elephants crossing a river with steep
banks. They GO down slowly, striking
the ground with their trunks before
each step and never making a slip or
miss. although you feel every min
ute as If they were going to take a
header into the water. Then they
wade or swim, as the case may be.
and they swim beautifully, not hesitat-
ing to cross half mile Of deep water
If need be-
l must say, however, that the sensa
ton Of sitting on the back Of swim
ming elephant is the reverse OF pleas
ant. You fancy yourself Cd an enor-
NOUS barrel which may roll round at
any moment and take you under. Be
sides that, elephants swim so low in
the water that you are sure Of wet
ting, which in India means an excel
lent chance OF. fever.
Having crossed the stream, they
must climb to the top of the bank, and
this is the most peculiar operation Of
all. Down on their knees they go and
with trunk and tusks dig out a foot
hold for themselves and so step by
step work their way to the top, their
position being sometimes like that Of a
fly climbing up wall. AS they reach
the top they give a lurch sideways and
shoot one leg straight over the bank,
then give a lurch to the other side and
shoot out the other leg in the same
way, which brings them into the posi-
ton Of boy hanging by his arms
from the edge of a roof. Then they
come to their knees and finally, with
a great scrambling and kicking Of
their hind legs, bring themselves to
level ground again.
In spite Of these perilous ascents and
descents / never knew an elephant to
miss his foothold, although there was
a case where one of the herd got
stuck In the mud and sank gradually
deeper and deeper until only his head
and part of his back could be seen.
The rajah ordered ten other elephants
to be brought up, and they were hitch
ed to the unfortunate animal and by
pulling together at the given word
brought their believing comrade out
Of the mud with a plomp like the pop
