Jordan - one year many years ago, he decided to kill an elephant before he went home on furlough. He caught a bull with a mortal chest shot, but left the firing of it too late so that the bull came on him. It thrust one of its tusks through Helkett's stomach and then through his thigh, and it picked him up and threw him into the bush, and then stood there and died. It took two weeks, day and night trek, for his boys to carry Helkett into Entebbe, and yet he lived.
