"Yes, if you—"
Phra got no farther, on account of the sharp look Harry darted at him.
"Have you anything particular you have tracked down?"
"I have done nothing but hunt nagas lately, Sahib, because I did not know when the Sahib would come again; but the jungle is full of wild creatures, and the river the same. Would Sahib Harry like to go right up the river in a boat, or would he like a ride through the jungle with an elephant?"
"What do you say, Phra?" asked Harry.
"We had a boat out last time," said Phra. "Which you like, though."
"But could you get an elephant? Would your father—"
"Of course," said Phra eagerly. "How soon shall we go?"
"I should like to go directly."
"Then we will go directly. I'll order an elephant to be brought round at once."
