An Elephant Swimming 30 Miles!

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, February 16, 1856

     The Charleston Evening News says that the elephant which  was lost overboard from a vessel bound to that port, made its way safely into Mt. Pleasant harbor! The vessel was thirty miles out to sea, and a heavy gale was blowing when the animal went overboard. This is a remarkable instance of animal strength.
