Tour in 1885
Visit Balrampur, the Maharani’s Palace:
[49] Took Dr. J. to see the Maharani's palace. the second largest elephant in India.(the first largest, Chand Murat, moon-faced, was away hunting wild clcphants,. the biggest and oldest rhinoceros in the world, the haran-bari, enclosure for antelopes, and some splendid talking mainas, or starlings.
[176] With Mr. M. – he is the most obliging and helpful to any visitor who may wish to see the elephants, the stables, the menagerie, the old rhinoceros and other lions of Balrampur. This same pachydermatous mammal we remember 23 years ago. The he was the terror of 200 elephants in possession of the late “great king”; not on account of the strong horn upon his nose did the ponderous elephants fear him, but by reason of those sharp tusks hod away under his flabbly lips, and which he revealed and used with a vengeance when he attacked his foe.
