It had entered the flank on the right side, breaking the rib upon which it had exploded; it had then passed through the stomach and the lower portion of the lungs, both of which were terribly shattered; and breaking one of the fore-ribs on the left side, it had lodged beneath the skin of the shoulder.

This was irresistible work, and the elephant had evidently dropped in a few minutes after having received the shell.
A most interesting fact had occurred.

I noticed an old wound unhealed and full of matter in the front of the left shoulder.

The bowels were shot through, and were green in various places.

Florian suggested that it must be an elephant that I had wounded at Wat el Negur; we tracked the course of the bullet most carefully, until we at length discovered my unmistakable bullet of quicksilver and lead, almost uninjured, in the fleshy part of the thigh, imbedded in an unhealed wound.
