bleeding, clothes torn and painting with heat
and excitement, he had proceeded a little on
his way when he was Mortified to see in front
OF him the elephant which had been knocked
foremost in his direction by some unseen mon
ster with whom it was engaged in deadly
over, now on its feet, and being driven stern
fight.
1t was certainly terrible position for Mr..
FORESTER, as 1t seemed almost impossible to
avoid being crushed to death by the unwieldy
animal, the reeds on each side being as i'm
renetrable as wall, while it was backing with
touching him.
But the moment of EXTREMIST danger was
the. moment of delverance. for at that crisis
a shot was fired from the rear. and some huge

er continuing to retreat. it viciously attacked
ITS fallen foe, trumpeting and screaming in the
widest manner.
Mr.. Forester, still in extreme danger from
its proximity and its excitement, now called
out to know who had fred the shot, and
where were all his companions.
He was answered by one of his friends,
who entreated him to send forward the other
mahout to secure the elephant in order that
they might escape from the jungle.
Explanations soon followed, and it turned
out that the wild animal which had so sud.
denly and savagely attacked their party was
an enormous Se:r nous rogue elephant; one separated
to meet with from its propensity to attack at
once any man or beast that may fall in its
way.
The fight between it and the tame elephant
IA fine tuskerl had been very severe, so much
so that had Mr.. Scott not succeeded in shoot
ing it behind the ear (the only vulnerable
spot), there can be no doubt that it would
have fought on till it had destroyed the whole
party.
As it was, the only one injured severely was
the mahout, who on falling from the elephant
had broken his thigh.
This poor man, who had lain in agony during
all this unpleasant adventure. was made as
comfortable as circumstances admitted of in
the h0wdah, and conveyed to camp, where he
speedily recovered.
This disagreeable experience in the jungle
proved. however, to be advantageous to the
sportsmen, as it was the means of bringing
game Of high class within their reach, for on
the following day two fine tigers came steal
ing up to the carcass of the rogue elephant
and fell victims to the rife of the native hunt.

a thing might take place.

Canoes and CanOeinq

When the first English model, the Nauti-
lus, reached our shores, American boat
builders perceived the possibilities of the ca.
noe. Just as Americans have heretofore
eclipsed the efforts Of Englishmen in obtain.
the highest speed in yachts, SO have they
surpassed them in canoe-building.
In 1887 the Royal Canoe Club, of London,
sent Mr. Baden.Powell, with his new and
latest Nautilus and Walter Stewart, with his
canoe, Pearl, to this country to compete for
the International challenge cup.
They were opposed by two members of the
Am, rican clubs-C. B. Vaux,. in the canoe
Lassie and L. Q. Jones, in the canoe Ven
ture. The Lassie won two races and the cup
is still on this side Of the Atlantic.
sailed with the Englshmen, when they met
Barney and ellison, Of New York, in the
Pecowsic and Vesper. The race was sailed
in a gale of wind, with heavy seas running,
and the Pecowsic came in first, with the YES
per a good second.
The Englishmen were astonished at the
amount of canvas which the American ca
noes carried, and that, too, without ballast.
The first canoes had sail which is now
spoken, of as handkerchief. 1t has been
gradually increasing in area until a canoe
now carries proportionatcly as much canvas
as a yacht.
The ability to stand up under such a spread
is only attained by the peculiar position and
muscular efforts of the canoeist, who. in.
stead of maintaining a recumbent position
lists do, sits on deck, and hike" out to the
wiRdward when puifs Of wind strike his
sails
There are many advantages in this posi-.
ton. 1t enables the craft to carry more sail,
and therefore to go faster, while the canoeist
enjoys sailing much more, and is not cramp-
ed and bruised in lying over on the wndward
side.
There are many canoe associations in this
county now The little craft can penetrate
waters that defy all pleasure boats safely,
muscular exertion to make the blood tingle.
1t is delightful sport to paddle your own
canoe.
