Encounter with a Cobra and Elephants in Ceylon Sojourn
The narrator recalls a perilous cobra encounter in a Ceylon village where a basket trapped the snake and a Cingalese man earned twenty dollars for the specimen. He then joins an English surveyor to witness elephants bathing in a river near Hambantota and notes elephant use in heavy work, local hunting sites, and the rich flora and historic sites around Kandy and Colombo. He praises Kandyan scenery, the Dalada Temple, the Bo tree, and ancient cities, while reflecting on historical ties and legends of Sri Lanka.
