take back to the sultan.

weren't more casualties. We buried
the dead. Ali brought up my medical
kit and helped me dress the wounds
After a few hours sleep l found
that 1 wasn't quite SO discouraged,
and SO l called the men together and
lectured them on the necessity of be-
ing careful. They showed no signs of
mutiny, and so we started of again
in search of the herd. 1t was not diff
ficult to find them, for they cut a
swath in the jungle to the point
where they stopped. five miles from
the scene of the stampede.
Again I posted guides in the trees
and spread out the drivers. Every
man was alert. and. when night
ended. we were considerably nearer
the trap. In the minds Of the ele-
plants there seemed to be no connec-
tion between the noise that was driv-
ing them and the men they had seen
the night before, and they went
ahead peaceably.

they cut down the big trees and
slashed trails through the jungle.
Omar and l were with them constant

excitement.
In building the trap we took great
care not to disturb the jungle

elephants can see at night. and there
is always the danger of stampede
unless precautions are taken against
arousing suspicion. The jungle lead
ing up to the wings was untouched,
and the wings and the trap could
scarcely be distinguished from the
dense growth that surrounded them.
In the runway and in the trap tne
jungle was still standing without
injury.
When the stockade was completed
an old Siamese priest offered to per-
form the ceremony that would bring
the blessing of the deity of the jungle
upon the drive. white cock was
found and fastened in the center of
the trap. The priest selected d hun
dred men and stationed them near the
entrance with fruits and branches OF
trees: then, with two natives, he
withdrew into the jungle. Presently
we heard them shouting. They came
through the underground, chanting
and striking the trees with their
spears and parangs. The priest
rushed through the runway into the
trap and seized the cock. With his
knife he severed it's head. Then.

Chinese boy and few others fol-
lowed along behind me, shouting.
The noise was taken up on each side
of us. and presently we heard the ele-
plants moving forward, throwing
growths. The night was black. and
we stumbled on, guided only by the
calls of the men in the trees. Insects
sWarmed about us, biting until we
were frantic. Sometimes the noise on
either the left or the right suddenly
increased and we knew that the herd
had veered in that direction and that

had been exhausting work. I posted
guards to watch the herd, and we
slept until late in the afternoon. Our
bodies were covered with Welts from
insect bites and the sting OF nettles
and were torn and scratched by the
sharp vines, and I was throbbing
with the fever When darkness came
again it seemed to me that the enter
prise was all wild nightmare.
Early the next day the stampede hit
us without warning. A small ele-
phant. straying from the herd, saw
some of the men on the right: he ran

believing herd came down upon us.

with weaving them. We did this by

them into their owners mouths, and

and inquisitiveness. Hour after hour

villages were present and Omar re-

praised them. Success rekindled the
enthusiasm that had been damped by
the stampede, and when we threw
ourselves down to snatch a few hours
sleep we were convinced that the
drive would proceed without trouble
The scouts reported that the herd was
slightly depleted. but. even so, it was
ever seen, much less driven.
At nightfall each day the men were
again in position, waiting for my sig.

preached the stockade. The men

On my platform I shouted as loudly
as any Of the Malays. Torches
were lighted and the men began

the catch, and the messenger re-
turned with the news that the sultan
was on his way. 1t was a historic oc-

never been in the interior of his own
country before, and never had there
been such an elephant hunt. in the

palace was a half-finished, two-story

that. it was the most imposing house
in Trengganu.

of my travels. And he told me some
thing of the worries of being sui
