IN TllK FORESTS OF UGANDA 



Elephant hunting Ijrings much that is fascinating. Never to be forgotten was that 

 moment when, after hearing the scuffling of great feet among leaves, we came face to face 

 with one of the great beasts in the dim recesses of the jungle. When leaving camp I had 

 said to Mrs. Akeley, in jocular mood, that I would shoot an elephant at ii o'clock. Remem- 

 bering this as I came up with a loitering bull in the rear of a herd, I decided to take a 

 photograph showing his small tusks, as an excuse for not shooting as promised. The photo- 

 graph shows this young elephant, which was about the size of "Jumbo." Encouraged by the 

 result, I continued photographing members of the herd for several hours.
