the morning, they found their companion, whom they 
had left asleep, trodden to death by the elephants, and

vnth his trunk, and threw him on the ground between 
his fore legs that he might tread him to death ; but 
the man happily got from under him and ran off; but 
from the bruise he received from the animal's trunk, 
and the fright, his life was for some time despaired of. 
The Bootchuanas observe such indications of wisdom 
in the elephants, that they do not consider them as 
beasts, but a species of very superior animals.
