The most important events of our rhino search were two incidents involving separate hunting parties of twenty-six and nine Laos; both groups reported to Suwan that they had seen rhinos.
The twenty-six villagers from Ban Kala in Sedone Province were rounding-up wild elephants quite near their village in June 1974. As the circle of hunters closed on five elephants they found that along with the elephants there were two rhinos as well. Both rhinos and three of the wild elephants eventually escaped - but the leader of the hunt died shortly afterwards and the villagers claimed that the sighting of the two rhinos was the cause of his death.
