Theshell had entered close to the shoulder, and it was extraordinarythat an animal should have been able to travel so great adistance with a wound through the lungs by a shell that hadexploded within the body. We had done pretty well. I had been fortunate in bagging fourfrom this herd, in addition to the single bull in the morning;total, five. Florian had killed one, and the aggageers one;total, seven elephants. One had escaped that I had wounded in theshoulder, and two that had been wounded by... Florian. The aggageers were delighted, and they determined to search forthe wounded elephants on the following day, as the evening wasadvancing, and we were about five miles from camp. Having mymeasuring-tape in a game-bag that was always carried byAbdoolahi, I measured accurately one of the elephants that hadfallen with the legs stretched out, so that the height to theshoulder could be exactly taken:--From foot to shoulder in adirect line, nine feet one inch; circumference of foot, four feeteight inches.
