the feet provided about three
inches of sole or callous.
As mounted, complete the smal
ler elephant will weigh about 1,000
pounds and the larger one about
1,800 pounds. Mr. Roper estimates
that the larger one in real life
probably weighed four or five tons.
The animals were shipped to Ne
braska, after being prepared for
mounting, In three sections. Tusks
and ears of each took a box, the
head another, and the body proper
the third box. The crate in which
the body of the largest elephant
was shipped weighed a ton as de
livered at the museum. Removal of
the animals and mounting of them
in place will probably take a
couple of weeks.
Breeds Describes Kill.
Killing of the two eephants Is
graphically described by Adam
Breede in his book, "Adventuring."
He had spotted a herd of elephants
one night and went early the next
morning to place himself in posi
tion. After making a detour to get
to leeward of the animals, he says
he found himself in a dense thicket
unable to see more than ten to fif
teen feet in advance.
"It was a trying and dangerous
situation," he writes, "for I knew I
was advancing upon a herd of the
wildest and most ferocious animals
in that part of the country.
"Cautiously I made my way,
stopping at every snapping of a
twig or the breaking of a branch.
In truth, at times I stopped to
catch my breath In fear that my
loud breathing would warn the an
imals of my approach.
Creeps Through Bush.
"For two miles I crept like an
Indian through the underbrush in
the dense forest, when I came to
the conclusion that I must be close
to the herd. Ordering a porter to
climb a small, slim tree to see
what he could see, I sat down for
a brief rest. Scarcely had I done
so when the native showed signs
of great excitement his eyes
verily shone as he waved his hand
in an easterly direction. He slid
down the tree and explained that
there were many elephants close
by aud that they were all bunched
together.
"This, in the vernacular of the
street, was more than I had bar
gained for, as I was desirous of
meeting one wild animal face to
face and not a whole herd. How
ever, the elephant I wanted was
there and there was but one thing
for me to do that was for me to
go after him.
"Bending low, and part of the
time going on hands and knees
thru the dense thicket, I slowly
made my way forward, a yard or
two, at a time.
"Just as I had gained an open
SDace and was advancing upright,
I heard the creaking, crackling and
breaking of timber directly Derore
me. Instantly halting, I got down
on hands and knees and peered
thru the thicket there, within less
than thirty yards was a bull ele
phant slowly advancing in my di
rection. It was but an instant mat
I hesitated for I realized that be
sensed me as soon as I saw him
that meant bis life or mine.
"Drawing a quick bead between
the eye and the ear, I fired! At the
crack of the gun he fell to his
knees with a groan and almost in
stantly arose and attempted a
charge. Again I fired! This time,
the mountain of flesh fell to the
ground dead within ten yards of
me.
Concerted Charge.
'Bfore I fully realised what had
happened there was a snorting and
trumpeting of elephants to the left
of me, to the right or me, ana De
fore me the wild animals were
charging from every direction.
"Standing alone in an open space
without a tree near by of sufficient
size for safety, and wild elephants
trumpeting to right and to left,
there was nothing for me to do but
stand and shoot my way to safety.
Hemmed In.
"I would have retreated but was
hemmed in. A large bull elephant
came charging at me from the
right within fifteen yards. I fired,
hit him in the head, turned him
and killed him with the second
shot
"In the meantime, the retreat
ing porters were almost sur
rounded by charging elephants but
managed to extricate themselves,
altho they had several narrow es
capes. "When the smoke of battle had
cleared away there lay two bull
elephants, and within thirty yards
of each other."
8klnning BecomSs Problem.
Task of skinning the elephants
then became the serious one if the
hides were to be preserved. The
skins must be removed rapidly and
salted or they will spoil due to the
intense heat.
"The -way Breede and his men
skinned those two elephants is
nothing short of miraculous," Mur
ray Roper believes. He points out
that it took Carl Akeley, famous
African big game hunter, twenty
four hours to skiA the first ele
phant he killed and the heat ruined
it before the Job was completed.
Later, Akeley got the work down
so it could be done in eight hours.
"But he never tackled more
than one at a time," Roper re
minds. "Skinning the two of them
was really a greater feat than hill
ing them." Not only were the two
Breede elephants skinned satisfac
torily but in a way that Akeley
had said was Impossible with ele
phants. Eliminate Seams.
Because of their great size,
Akeley had held it was necessary

to cut the skin right down the

was not done on the Breede ele
phants, resulting in a more per
fect appearing bide than usual
and eliminating the need for
scams at the center back.
Turning the elephants over
after skinning one side is the
greatest problem, due to the great
weight. It took more than an hour
of hard work by a band of natives
to turn one of the elephants over,
Breede teUs in his book.
Roper Lauds Work.
"The skinning was about the
best of any we have ever handled,"
Roper says. "The trunk and nos
trils of the small elephant were
cut the best of any ot the five ele
phants we have mounted in the
last few years."
Shortly after the death of Adam
Breede, the hides of the elephants
were removed from Hastings to go
to New York for preparation by
the taxidermist. The animals were
first sculptured in clay, after tak
ing measurements; then a manni
kin, light weight but strong was
cast and then the hides which had
been tanned, were fitted over the
mannikin. High praise was paid
by Mr. Roper to the work of James
L. Clark in planning the designs
for the elephants to make them
an artistic unit as well as to in
sure permanence of their prepara
tion. Work of unpacking the great
crates, shifting the animals into
position for mounting began short
ly after the animals arrived here.
More than a dozen men will be
used at times as the great weights
are handled.
