28. DIFFICULTIES OF HUNTING ELEPHANTS.
At a first glance one might almost think these men
were trout fishing, but they are engaged in a much
more dangerous sport. They are hunting the ele.
phant, the largest and most dangerous of all the
jungle beasts. In many places the undergrowth is so
thick that the hunters find it easier to use the bed
of a stream, as you see them doing in this picture.
If an elephant charges when the hunter is in the water,
it is a case of killing the monster at first shot or
losing one's life.
