At Mombasa they interviewed the governor, relating officially their news
of Mowbray and giving a detailed account of the lake country which had
been discovered. It was at once arranged that six months later a great
safari was to be sent up, with Louis Schoverling in charge, to make a
scientific exploration and map out the country about the hot lake.

Letters and cables poured in on them, and the two weeks spent at
Mombasa were busy ones. Accounts of their trip were despatched to
London, New York and Toronto, and on the day they left a cable came
which announced that Schoverling had gained one of his life-long
ambitions--Fellowship in the Royal Geographical Society.

"Well, we've sure had a great time," sighed Jack as they steamed out of
Mombasa. Von Hofe was accompanying them to New York. "We've pulled
pretty near two thousand each out of that ivory and dust, Chuck."

"It certainly does look like big money now," admitted Charlie. "Well, I
see where I dig in to learn for a while. Then maybe we can get together
for another trip somewheres, eh, General?"

"I hope so," laughed Schoverling. "I thought maybe you would have had
enough of it."

"Not much!" cried both boys together. Von Hofe smiled.

"Wait!" he said. "I have a surprise, some day!"

And one day, months later, he took them to a special room in the great
Museum of Sciences, where stood the Rogue Elephant as he had stood on
that last day of his life; beneath, on the great brass plate at the
bottom, were these words:

_Elephas Africanus Peeli_
