King Cobra appeared to have got at least three feet of the Python down its 

 throat but on being disturbed it disgorged it and escaped. Mr. Hoogwerf 

 retreated and returned after an hour to find that the King Cobra had come 

 back to its prey. He shot it and sent it and its dinner together to Castle Rock, 

 but by the time they got there they were not in a condition to be forwarded. 

 The Python measured 9 feet 2 inches but was half as big again in girth as the 

 King Cobra. When first foxmd it was still ahve, but very sick.
