No. 9. ‘‘Well that’s the limit!” exclaimed Teddy. Golly looked in the direction in which his chum was pointing. Over a rise in the ground there was crawling towards them the strangest object which so far had met their eyes.

Teddy was too terrified to move, and Golly nearly turned pale with fright! The creature seized poor Teddy by the back of the neck with thd tip of his trunk, and the Chums thought that their end had come.
