Elephants and a Major in Wild Indian Encounters
London Times recounts Major Rogora escaping a charging elephant by climbing a tree after a 400 yard pursuit. The animal released the boot, then waited 24 hours before help arrived as tom toms and shouts frightened it away. A second tale features a battle elephant carrying a royal standard, remaining unmoved amid heavy fighting until a mahout’s son leads it away. A Windsor-like anecdote describes Miss Wolf relocating two great trees from the Mississippi valley to Newport by river, a journey costing about 1500 dollars.
