They pushed each other steadily with their broad foreheads, using sparingly their huge tusks, tokens of their rank and mas- culine supremacy. Unfortunately one had a tusk partly broken, for, of course, their strength is so great they cannot push and butt without results following, but really they showed great self-restraint, were thoroughly civil and courteous to each other. Their value is so great the Maharajah did not want them injured. This was the only combat between elephants, but at the e...nd the biggest of them all came in accompanied by a light horseman who rode admirably. He circled round the elephant trying to tease him, and the crowd too tried to enrage the animal who wanted to be reasonable and could not understand how human beings could change so in the twinkling of an eye into a rabble of jeering, tormenting hoodlums. Sometimes he would lose patience and make a bolt at them at which they would scatter, but he could not remain in a bad humor, the kindly, honest beast. Though lack of time prevents me from repeating the long conversation I had with the prime minister during his call, I feel I must tell you what he said about the missionaries.
