10 PRINCE WRITES SOUL INTO ROOK German Noble Says He Real izes His Littleness in Face of Nature. BERLIN. July s.—The book of the crown prince. "leaves from My Hunting Diary," giving hie own account of his sporting experiences in Europe and India during 1910 and 1911. has tint been pub lished. The book is handsomely produced with the prince's initial and coronet em blazoned in gold, and is illustrated by photographs mostly taken by the prince or the princess In the preface the prince says: "In offering these pages to the public I feel a certain embarrassment, and I want to save mj readers from false illusions. These little sketches are simple and plain and lav claim to no literary value. They are loose leaves taken from the diary of a man who loves real hunting, and to whom great and beautiful nature Is an Inexhaustible source of loveliness and the joy of life " In describing his stay in a country house In Scotland, the prince says: Praises English Country Houses. “These English country houses are, to my mind, the most elegant and at lite same time the most comfortable imag inable Every guest In such a house Is looked after in a delightful way. and thia is dons in such a charming manner that a guest is never conscious that his host la troubling himself about him. In the art of entertaining the English are a genial ideal. With us, people think It nec essary to be always talking to a guest. He is worried to death with engagements, pleasures and sightseeing There Is noth ing of that in England. Meata are at cer tain hours. When the house party comes together, if there is nothing special to do, auch as a hunt, then everybody is his own master. ' The prince shows a racy style In nar rating his first experience In elephant hunting in Ceylon "We had splashing about persplrlngly fbr some three-quarters of an hour with out seeing anything when we suddenly heard a very strange noise It sounded like the dull growth of distant thunder as we approached nearer Our leader ex plained in a whisper that It was the snoring of an elephant which was taking Ita midday nap quite close to us. He was right. After we had crept forward about another 300 meters (this creeping was, moreover, no trifle, in view of the nature of this close relation of a pontine marsh off the slippery ground of which we slith ered about miserably) we saw the colos sus lying on his side, gray, massive, with the head pointed towara us and fast asleep Confesses Nervousnees. “It had been impressed upon me where I should place my bullet, either from the side on a triangle between the eye and the ear or from in front immediately above the root of the trunk 1 knelt down in the swamp and steadied myself against a small willow, or something similar 1 i aimed at the spot above the trunk and confess that 1 placed my finger very ner vously on the trigger "What happened then is Indescribable, the crack of the shot mingled with a kind of earth and sea-quake, and a terrible trumpeting from the so rudely awakened old gentleman "He had rolled himself onto hie feet 1 could see the place where my shot had hit him Although too high, the shot must have been through the oblique po sition of the head and tt failed to strike a vital part "There the fellow stood puzzled and raging only a moment, but Just long enough for Finckensteln and one of the Englishmen, each to get in a bullet, then the wounded giant tured and crashed away from us There we stood with silly faces The Englishmen said, ’damn,’ and we said, 'Verflucht,' which is pretty much the same thing Elephant Gets Away. "It was at once clear to me that we must follow One of the Englishmen, however, declared straight out that he could not agree to my going another step further, tor a wounded elephant was no joke »"We replied calmly that he could re main behind, which he decided to do, so we all set off on the track of the wounded animal this pursuit I shall never forget in all my life "The undergrowth was enormously thick and entirely blocked the view At any moment we might be confronted by the wounded elephant. At twenty paces dis tant. if he attacked us we were lost; as to that, there was no doubt the ground was slippery and covered with thorns so that we could not deviate two steps from the elephant s track There were no large trees "Destruction threatened us behind the wall of brushwood, and as a matter of fact we were almost taken by surprise. One of the English gentlemen brushes the curtain of creepers aside, and then I see that he suddenly makes spasmodic signs to me, I spring forward and gesticulate quickly to Finckensteln In front of us. Twenty paces away stands the gray giant ready for attack, the mighty ears extend ed, and trunk rolled up. "We opened a quick tire The bullets sailed In on him, then he turned and went off at a jog trot. "I was in despair All the irouble, the excitement and the danger had been in vain. We set off again in pursuit, and for two hours more, painfully and ever more painfully, fought our way through thicket and swamp till at last our strength failed Struggling for air, each one sat down exactly where he was. that is to say. in the water. The elephant had more than a dozen bullets in him and yet we never saw anything more of him.'
