MY KIND FRIEND DURING MANY YEARS, WITH WHOM, 

 IN DAYS GONE BY, I PASSED SOME PERILOUS, THOUGH 

 PLEASANT, TIMES ON THE ZULU AND SWA2I BORDERS, 

 WHEN UNDER HIM IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE, 

 AND IN WHOSE HOME OF DUNVEGAN CASTLE THE 

 GREATER PART OF IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN, THIS LITTLE 

 ACCOUNT OF MY ELEPHANT-HUNTING ADVENTURES IS 



AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED
