Three Elephant Episodes From India Patrols
A London Times recounts three elephant stories. Major Rogers fends off a charging elephant in a jungle's edge, narrowly escaping when his gear slips free and leaves him alive. A sepia-hued tale shows an elephant guarding a royal standard after its rider falls, remaining unmoved as natives rally, then guiding the retreat. The third account notes a mahout and elephant in uneasy partnership, ending with a peaceful trek after commanding the beast with restraint.
