In the evening on returning to camp, we received a report that elephants visited and destroyed the neighbouring plantation the previous night. It was a planta- tion of cactus used for the manu- facture of ropes. Early morning we inspected the planta- tion which was partly eaten. Since then, we were continually track- ing the elephants until the after- noon of the fourth day, when we suddenly heard the crackling of branches at a distance..

CREPT UP CAREFULLY Suspecting they were elephants, we crept up carefully on the lea side of the wind, until we came within 50 yards; we saw it was a herd of five elephants, but before I started to shoot. I again heard. the truckling of branches but in another direction.--Being-convin ced there was another herd near- by, we quietly went over to ascer- tain.
