Original text on this topic:
I have twice while looking for elephant come upon a rhinoceros, perhaps the same animal in both cases, in a large swamp, in the dense forest north of Shuay Gheen in Burmah, and not far from the beautiful Bogatha stream, but although we must each time have been within a few yards of him as he was wallowing in the mud, and we pushed after him as fast as most men could go, for my guncarrier and I were in good training, and the three-hoofed track was easy to follow, he out-paced us altogether, and I never got more than a dusky glimpse at a dusky hide, not sufficient to warrant a shot.
