Further Experiences with Elephant 



savage, and the sound of the shooting having 

 attracted them, they will wait till one has gone 

 home, then set to work, and the tusks will be far

 that these particular tusks duly reposed under 

 the flag of my tent the following evening, though 

 the extracting of them proved a hot job under 

 the burning orlare of the sun.
