Soon/ on a cliff above a river-bed Sher Singh knew he could go no further without rest. He set Kunwar down gently. Suddenly all Sher Singh's muscles, shrinking back to their natural position, thrilled with piercing pain, he lay against a tree with his eye shut, recovering. |
It was then he herd the jostle and squeal, of elephants. Below him on each side of the shallow river-bed, the elephants travelled. He could see the cows and babies and one great old tusker. He was playing his trunk to and fro to learn whatever the breeze could tell him, and suddenly he hesitated. |
Sher Singh chilled with fright, with Kunwar to carry, to carry, he could neither climb nor run. Prayer after prayer fled up from his frightened spirit. |
