these rocks formed alleys of various widths, and upon such ground an elephant had no chance. There was a large rock the size of a small house lying within a few yards from the entrance of the forest. This rock was split in two pieces, forming a passage of two feet wide, but of several yards in length. As good luck would have it, an elephant stood exactly on the other side, and Palliser leading the way, we advanced through this secure fort to the attack. On arrival at the extreme end, Palliser fired two quick shots, and taking a spare gun, he fired a third before we could see what was going on, we being behind him in this narrow passage. Upon passing through we thought the fun was over; he had killed three elephants, and no more were to be seen anywhere. Hardly had he re-loaded, however, when we heard a tremendous rushing through the forest in the distance; and, upon quickly running to the spot, we came upon a whole herd of elephants, who were coming to meet us in full speed. Upon seeing us, however, they checked their speed for a moment, and Palliser and Wortley both fired, which immediately turned them. This was at rather too long a distance, and no elephants were killed. A fine chase now commenced through the open forest, the herd rushing off at great speed. This pace soon took us out of it, and we burst upon an open plain of high lemon-grass. Here I got a shot at an elephant, who separated from the main body, and I killed him. The pace was now so great that the herd fairly distanced us in the tangled lemon-grass, which, though play to them, was very fatiguing to us. Upon reaching the top of some rising ground, I noticed several elephants, at about a quarter of a mile distant upon my left, in high grass, while the remaining portion of the herd (three elephants) were about two hundred yards ahead, and were stepping out at full speed straight before us. Wortley had now had plenty of practice, and shot his elephants well. He and Palliser followed the three elephants, while I parted company, and ran towards the other section of the herd, who were standing on some rising ground, and were making a great roaring. On arriving within a hundred yards of them, I found I had caught a "Tartar."
