General Information:
Kenya Diary - Mombasa - Apr. 1906 - Bowring gave a dinner party this evening at which were present Mr & Mrs Coombe, Mrs Clutterbuck, Stanley of the Railways, my old Fort Hall friend Ronald Humphery, and myself. Mrs Clutterbuck told me a good story which she declared to be true. Her husband wounded an old bull elephant near Molo on the Mau Plateau but failed to recover him that day. On the following day they found that he had wandered off to a small stream, and in his efforts to get water had sunk down and died actually in the bed of the watercourse. The stream was thus dammed, but instead of the water rising and flowing over the carcase it found for itself a new course underground and now flows for over a mile in this fashion. The carcass has since disappeared but the stream still persists underground.
