THE ELEPHANT 213 
a fine cow a good shot behind the shoulder with the left barrel, 
and again getting hold of the 4-bore gave another cow a shot, 
but too far back and low down, and before I could get through 
the swamp the herd went off. The bull after going less than 
1ceo yards fell over dead, and another couple of shots finished 
the first cow ; then followed a long chase after the other 
cow, which I finally got with a shot almost in the ear-hole, 
after giving her a great number of ineffectual body shots.
