Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

A remarkable attachment sprang up between a white camel and an elephant belonging to John Robinson’s circus. When the company started from Texas, considerable beating was required to force the camel on board the steamer, at which the elephant showed great anger, and frightened a crowd badly by rushing to the scene. After they reached Cincinnati, the camel died, and the elephant was inconsolable. She took her stand beside the body, and it was only with great difficulty that she could be driven away. Her moanings, too, were terrible, and after being removed, she refused to eat.
