shots were fired again at the forehead of the poor brute who to the last refused to succumb, until eventually despatched by a ball delivered in the region of its heart. This act of ignorance as to the anatomy of the African head," was severely commented upon by the “vox populi,” and many articles appeared in the varielis newspapers for

ime time after the deed had been done.

While on a visit to Elopura, a small settlement now daily increasing in size, situated at the en- trance of the fine ant extensive harbour of Sandakan, we met a petty native chief who had killed no less than six elephants with his own hand; but whether he performed this great feat with some firearm borrowed for the purpose, or, as is more probable, by the native mode of spearing them in the belly, and then tracking the wounded animal and spearing it again when an opportunity is repeated, deponent sayeth not. The latter, however, is by far the most general plan, although the identical elephant- Samuel Baker used so successfully gun that

A longer stay in that quarter might have enabled us to ascertain whether they were in the habit of visiting the seashore regularly, in order to bathe, or whether they preferred the fresh, but less cleanly, water of the rivers, to the briny wave itself, in which to enjoy their early douche.

Very little ivory is to be procured from these. animals, and that little is of a most inferior quality, if we can depend on the accounts given of it by the foreigners residing in this island. But they were not in the habit of hunting themselves, and few white people who have lived any time in this country seem to possess energy enough to devote their time to a sporting tour alone; hence they probably form their ideas of the value of the AMERICAN CAST STEEL SHOVELS ivory simply on statements brought to them by the hunters of the surrounding villages.

There can be little doubt that, after the frequent disappointments and overwhelming discomforts which hunters undergo in these forests, the novelty of hunting begins to pall, and the possi bility even of making so desirable a coup" as the killing of a rogue elephant, is neither sport nor reward sufficient to tempt the white man to face them, enervated as he soon becomes by this trying climate.

in his famous African travels, and is best known to the public as "the laby," was at that time actually in the possession of his excellency the Governor of Borneo. Good firearms are very scarce articles amongthe natives, who a mostly too poor to possess more weapons than their national Aris and a single spear. Moreover, few of them are to be trusted with the loan of so valu- able an instrument as a good gun. An elephant-in perfection one should visit the grand collection thus wounded by spears of the hunter is often followed for several days before it eventually suc cumbs to the many wounds given by its untiring

and relentless pursuers.

Notwithstanding the denseness of the under- growth in the vast forests that cover the north cast of Borneo, like Cesar of old the elephants seem to be first-rate engineers in making for themselves open paths through all obstruction, choosing the higher grounds generally for these curious imitations of civilised power. By this custom they unwittingly render themselves more. accessible to the only reat enemy they possess in so secure a retreat; for it may safely be assumed that man, and probably man alone, makes them his prey. For wondcraft, in all its branches, there could be no better school in the world for the Malay hunters than the jungle in which they are born and bred, And apt pupils they can prove themselves to be when compelled to rely on their own resources; otherwise, more indolent, self satisfied, laisses-aller children of nature it would be hard to find, either in the wildest parts of Africa or amongst the now nearly extince tribes of the northern states of America.

let to return to our big game. It is a curious fact that there are few of the feline race of any size in this coul of Boruco. Tigers are rare in the northern parts, but far more numerous in the southern extremities :arencontre with the leopard, too, is an unusual occurrence. The two-horned rhinoceros, a specimen of which is occa sionally killed, is also found in the same haunts with the bison or wild cattle peculiar to Borneo. Nor must the Malay sambur be omitted-all these animals frequenting the feeding grounds together with the elephants, and often in herds of con- siderable size. The true crocodile, in its largest dimensions, inhabits the numerous rivers of Borneo; but, from the frequent way in which the clephants appear to cross and recross the very streams occupied by these brutes, it may be in- 'ferred that even the baby elephant is looked on as being too massive a prey to be attacked with impunity, protected always, as it is sure to be, by so fond and formidable a parent as the female proves in time of need,

On first visiting the neighbourhood of. Sands. kan, at the suggestion of one of the leading re- sidents, we offered a reward of one dollar to the native who would show us the fresh impres 'sion of an elephant's footmark, and five dollars to the man who would take us directly within shot of; but the offer did not produce any satis fgesuits.

It is one of the leading characteristics of the wandering and broken-up tribes of the Malay race to select a small portion of the jungle most suitable for their few and frugal requirements, where the soil is naturally most productive, and, above all, where they are conveniently close to water on which their canoes can travel. Con- sequently, most of these settlements are situated on the banks or mouth of a stream, and there these wanderers remain until they are driven out by more powerful neighbours, or by the scourge inflicted by some oathsome and infectious disease, when they again move to seek a safer and a healthier spot. In the clearings made by these changes does the game resort, and here, then, must the hunter wait if anxious to obtain shot. The best chances are afforded either by twilight (early morning being preferable), or by the uncertain light of the mean, flickering, it may be, through the high branches of gigantic trecí. Early hours possess the double advantage of an improving light, for then a better aim may be taken, and during the daylight that succeeds the game may be more safely followed up, or a wounded animal recovered. But in the evening, the twilight being of so short a duration, a close shot is seldom to be obtained before the gloom of night sets in, and then tracking in the dark, or even looking for a wounded beast under such The O.
