A sentinel came rushing up-one Of
the keepers.
Something is stampeding the ele-

Ahmed and the men with him rushed

what lay before them, elephants were
more important than colored stones

selves in sore straits.

1t was not an easy matter. The child

Umballa had reached the point
where he could not plan without

basket into the jungle somewhere

who knew the secret; then. at the
proper time, he would return for il

The landing was made, the basket

was emptied of its bait and leopard
trap; the bullocks were brought Out
and harnessed-all this activity before
the fishing boats had covered half the
distance.

He tried to act coolly, but when he

Thus, in this peaceful fishermen's
