N a rro w Kscupc o f a T ra v e le r in an In d ia n Jungle. Au elephant light, if the com batant» be w ell matched, frequently last» for a day or more. The beaten elephant retreats tem porarily, and Is follow ed leisurely by the other, until by mutual consent they meet agaiu. The more pow erfu l elephant occasionally keeps his foe in v ie w till he kills him. In “ W ild Beasts o f India,” G. P. Sander son describes an encounter with a de feated tusker: A shrill trumpeting and crashing o f bamboos broke the stillness, and from the noise w e knew' It was a tusker tight. B efore w e could reach the scene o f combat, one elephant uttered a deep roar o f pain, and crossed the nullah some forty yards In advance of us. H ere he began to destroy a clump o f basboo in sheer fury, grum bling deeply the w hile lu rage and pain. Blood w as stream ing from a deep stab in his le ft side, high up. H e was a very large elephant with long and fa irly thick tusks. H is opponent must have been a Goliath to have worsted him. T h is tusker presented a picture o f rage and power, as lie mowed the bamboos down with trunk and tusks, and trampled them with his forefeet. Suddenly his whole demeanor chang ed. H e backed from the clump and stood like a statue. H e had scented us. The next moment forw ard went his ears and up went his tail, and in the same Instant he wheeled and bore straight down upon us with astonish ing speed. The bamboos behind w hich w e stood w’ere useless as cover, and I stepped out Into the open to get a clcftir shot. I gave a shout, hoping to stop or turn him, but in vain. I fired when he was nine paces distant, feelin g confi dent o f the shot, *but I made a mis take In not g iv in g him both barrels. T h e smoke m omentarily obsured the elephant, and I went dow n to see w here he lay. Good gracious! H e had not even been checked, and was upon me! There was no time to step to the right or the left. H is tusks came through The smoke m omentarily obscured the locomotive, and l had just tim e to fall flat to avoid being hurled along in front o f him. 1 fe ll a little to the right; the next instant down came his ponderous forefoot w ithin a few’ inches o f my le ft thigh, and I should have been trodden on had I not hastily drawn my leg back from the sprawl ing position In which I fell. As he rushed over me he shrieked shrilly, but fortunately he went on. for had he stopped there was no w a y o f escape fo r me. I was covered w ith blood from the wound inflicted by his late antagonist. This was one o f the clos est calls l e ver had in the w ild life In the Jungle. P L A G U E IS A C O S T L Y ONE.
