Comments / pictures


During this voyage to India I was also able at leisure to run through
the films I had turned at Manila and Weltevreden. Of the greatest
interest to me was an elephant I photographed at Manila. Through an
accident the animal was minus the tip of its Trunk. What is more, this
was slit at the end for about a span on either side. I am afraid I was
unable to find out or the owners were unwilling to tell me how this
mutilation came about, but what was most interesting was to observe
that the accident had not prevented the elephant from using its trunk,
for I saw and the cameras recorded how neatly he slipped bananas
into that slit and conveyed them to his mouth, a fascinating piece of
evidence of the extraordinary adaptability of this 'hand on the head,'
which is said to contain between twenty-five thousand to thirty
thousand separate muscles.
