FELIX MCGAVONTY BRINGS DOWN SOME SNAKES "Well, what do you think of this?" asked Captain Ringgold, turning to Mrs. Belgrave, as the elephant moved off. "I don't feel quite at home up here," she replied, holding on with both hands at the side of the howdah. "I think it is nice," added Miss Blanche. "It seems very much like riding on a camel, only there is more motion." "It is a good place to see everything there is to be seen," suggested Louis, as he looked about him.
