Safari Notes from Africa Elephant Hunt Ends in Trophy
H C Hank Bothe of Elyria and B Rhodes of Cleveland journeyed with wives to Tanganyika. After weeks of grueling walks and fruitless hunts, an elephant was killed near Kijunga after a long pursuit as Dusty, Bothe's partner, won the coin toss for the first shot. The party moved camp 200 miles, faced thick bush and fierce wildlife, and endured nights of sleep disruption before success and returning to Ohio.
