There he made friends with the
natives and was fortunate enough

but there was such excitement
over the capture of these strange
animals that the Lords of the
Admiralty-the heads Of the royal
navy--sent special orders to the
authorities Of Malta---for Malta

placed at the disposal of the
giraffes and every effort made
for their comfort.

the animals safely in the Zoo in
London. But when they did, the
crowds who came to see them
were so great that it was almost
impossible to get even a glimpse
of the giraffes.'
