I came round the hut and saw a man's dead body sprawling in the mud.

　　He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the__peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent.

　　As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him.
