In this spot everyone had congregated, and were loading their guns, but the rogue had escaped.
My cap and rifle were now hunted for, and they were at length found near the spot where I had been caught.

The elephant had trodden on the stock of the rifle, and it bears the marks of his foot to this day.
In a few minutes I was unable to move.

We therefore sent to the tent for the horses, and arrived at 6 P.M., having had a hard day's work from 5 A.M.without food.
On arrival at the tent we found Banda and the trackers.
There could not be a better exemplification of a rogue than in this case.

A short distance apart from the herd, he had concealed himself in the jungle, from which position he had witnessed the destruction of his mates.

He had not stirred a foot until he saw us totally unprepared, when he instantly seized the opportunity and dashed out upon me.
