BOUT WITH elephant
Big Game Hunter Has Exciting
Experience in Africa.
J. Norwood Dowsett Is Surprised
When Big Beast Turss and Runs 3.
Away After Downing and
Trying to TrampIe Him.

London.-A good elephant yarn Is
told by J. Morewood Dowsett, a we'll
known big game hunter, who has just
returned from hunting trip in South
Africa.
He was hunting elephants in Ugan-
da when information was brought him
of the whereabouts of a large herd.
With a native chief and house boy,
he started to find them. The party
came upon the herd in the forest.
Mr.. Dowsett got several photographs
within 20 yards OF the beasts when
the chief warned him that they had
been scented and that the animals
were coming for them. Snatching up
his rifle Mr. Dowsett shot and killed
the leader, a big bull.
While some surrounded their leader
many OF the beasts stampeded, and,
running the wrong way, Mr.. Dowsett
was cut off from the party. Reload
ing his gun, the hunter dashed off for
safety and ran into a big bull ele-
plant which crashed through the bush
six yards In front of him.
Trunk aloft, ears extended and
trumpeting wildly, the beast rushed
at Mr.. Dowsett and swept him to the
ground with his trunk and turned rap
idly in its own length ready to tram
Pile him.
The hunter took flying dive under
the monsters belly, realizing he would
then be on the right side of the wind, ]
but the beast turned rapidly round and
again tried to trample him. Instead
the animal rolled him over and over
with Its legs and the hunter saw above
him the two great tusks as the beast |
,ried to maneuver his body into posi-
ion and pick him up. Mr.. Dowsett |
to roll behind the animal and |
ret to his feet and make rush for
over. To the hunters relief and sur
rise the furious beast set on in the
opposite direction and disappeared.

SEA CAPTAINS

Depression in Shipping Forcec
Officers to Take Reduced
Rank to Get Work.
HUNDREDS OF CAPTAINS idle
Four Shippers Serving on One Vessel
Not Uncommon Occurrence-Of
ficers Suffer With Firemen
and Sailors

New YOrk.-Four captains on one
ship, each of them qualified by expert
ence and license to navigate unlimited
tonnage in any waters, but three OF
them serving as mates is not an UNI
common occurrence now, due to the
low tide of world ocean commerce.
On ship which recently sailed from
New York for a round-trip voyage to
the West Indies the master thereof
had under him as mates two men
under whom he had formerly worked
when conditions were reversed. His
third mate, during the war commanded
an American ship which made nu-
merOus trips through the war zone
carrying supplies for the American
| army in France.
Accept Reduced Rank.
1t is to the lasting credit of these
American masters, shipowners say,
that they accept reduced rank cheer
fully and in their service they render
a very high degree of allegiance and
obedience to the officers temporarily
above them. This applies not only to
their periods of actual duty, but to
the traditional sea discipline when off
watch.
The laying up of one ship after an
other until practically one-half of
Americas postwar fleet of commerce
carriers has been relegated to quiet
anchorage, awaiting return Of nor
malcy In world commerce, has put
thousands of good American seamen
ION the beach," as they term it.
y Officers suffer with the iremen and
the sailors in the enforced idleness.
ClubrOoms of associations of officers
always are well filed now by licensed
some trip. When a call for an officer |
comes in it is rendered to the man
understood to be most in need of the |
work, and by him it is cheerfully ac-
cepted regardless of the rank 1t car

The records show that but compare
lively few are in actual financial dis
tress through enforced idleness. A
man who has reached the bridge
generally learned to be thrifty, and
In the good years TO lay aside some

Back to Farms.
Hundreds of American captains now

Of shore duty on farms which they
