210 ELEPHANT IN A STATE OF ANGER. 



thirty bullets lodged in the fleshy part of his body, but 

 perfectly recovered from the wounds. All are not 

 equally docile. When an enraged elephant turns 

 round to retreat, nothing can withstand its fury ; the 

 driver has no longer a command, and friends and foes 

 are involved in undistinguished ruin. 



Such is Mr. Hervey's account of this noble animal, 

 which, coming from an eye-witness, I thought would 

 be particularly acceptable to you and your Cambrian 

 friends, to whom I desire my regards. 



Emily.
