AN UNWITTING ESCAPE. 



We also saw that three or four elephants, that were 

 feeding close to the spot from whence we had fired, had 

 chased us for at least two hundred yards. Fortunately, 

 one of the sharp turns which we had taken threw them 

 out in the chase, and very probably saved us from being 

 acquainted with the weight of their feet. 



I must say that this little adventure somewhat cooled 

 my ardour for a second meeting with these angry brutes. 

 Interviews, however, frequently did again happen, as will 

 be seen by the future pages.
