Gentle Bundoh
by EMMA-LINDSAy SQUlER

Else backed away in alarm; then
she screamed, and ran. Down the path
she went, her golden curls flying, the
banana clutched in her outfiung hand.
Bundah saw only that the precious
fruit was escaping. She trumpeted,
and went numbering after the small
girl.
Else's mother came running out on
the wide veranda, and saw the Shrek
ing child being pursued by the ele-
phant. The little girl slipped and
fell; squarely in front of those gigantic,
oncoming feet!
Else's mother cried out in agony.
The world went black. But when she
recovered consciousness, it was to 10Y,
not tragedy. For the elephant had
swerved aside with a speed unbeliev-
able in such seemingly clumsy bulk.
She had caught the little girl up in her
trunk. And then, setting the scream
ing child safely upright she had
gently but firmly disengaged the ba-
mana and had eaten it!
After that, the natives called Bun
dah by new name. Translated, it
means, She Whose Feet Think Fast"

- She was first used for haul
ing teak logs. But her disposition and
her quick intelligence soon promoted
her to more specialized tasks, such as
bringing the mail from the nearest
government station, miles away through
the jungle.
The family began to teach her to do
tricks. She would sit up, trumpet at
command. and make a clumsy attempt
at standing on her head. The reward
was always banana, for which she
had a passion.
Else, the little faxen haired daugh-
ter, was just four years old. And one
day, when she saw Bundah coming
down the path from the river, she ran
out with a banana in her hand, and
offered it to the elephant.
Bundah moved forward with alac-
rity to accept it, but the small girl was
seized with sudden panic The friendly
elephant seemed abruptly transformed
into a monstrous bulk, bearing down
on her to destroy her

 The "William Brown" was equip ped with only two life boats and Taylor realized that he could never bring the entire ships company to safety in the fraii craft. He or- dered a trial to determine who should Do permitted to 90 aboard the lifeboats and who should be or- dered-at pistol point-to remain aboard and go to the bottom with the ill-fated vessel. He included himself among the survivors not be- cause he wanted to save his life, he later told an admiralty court, but because he knew he was the only man who could bring the life-boats safely through to land.
 There followed @ trial which iS now epic among sea trials.
