HUNTING elephants, even in these days of explosive bullets and rifles capable of rotting mastodons over without much trouble, is a dangerous game. When it involves being hunted by elephants it is no joke at all, and that was the experience that Mr. Cresswell George underwent on his last hunting expedition. Unpleasant as it is to have such an adventure oneself, it is great fun to hear about it from somebody else, and Mr. Cresswell George should hold the microphone spellbound this afternoon.
