Mesmerized by the intelligence, character, and even humor of the great animals who hauled logs through the remote jungles, he became a gifted &339;elephant wallah.&157; Increasingly skilled at treating their illnesses and injuries, he also championed more humane treatment for them, even establishing an elephant &339;school&157; and &339;hospital.&157; In return, he said, the elephants made him a better man. The friendship of one magnificent tusker in particular, Bandoola, would be revelatory.
