On one occasion, two elephant drivers, each with an eleph.aid, the one remarkably large and strong, and the and weak, were at t!ie w’cll together : the small el- ej)hant had been [)rovided by hisniaste? with a bucket fur the ;ccasion, whicli he carried at th(; end of his [proboscis, hut the larger animal being destitute oi this necessary ves.sel, either spontane ously, or by desire of his keeper, seizer* the bucket, and easily wrested it away from his less powerful f,llow-servai.t : the latter was too sensible of his inferi ority openly to resent the insult, theiigh it W'as obvious that he felt it ; but great squabbling and alnise ensued between the keepers. At length the weaker animal watched the opportunity when the other was staiiding with his side to the well, retired backwards a few paces, iii a very quiet, unsuspicious manner, and then rushing forward with all his might, drove his head against the side of the other, and fairly j)ushed him in to the well.
