Synopsis
Excerpt from Elephant Seladang Hunting in the Federated Malay States
The Malay Peninsula is a portion of Asia little known to the general public, although it is the greatest tin-producing country in the world. Except to the resident Europeans in the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States and a very few others, it is entirely unknown as a big game hunter's country. As such I do not wish to describe it, since it is not a country which a stranger can enter and go on an organised hunting trip. In fact, it is extremely difficult for those not conversant with the Malay tongue to obtain any hunting at all; although for those who live in the country and can occasionally leave their regular duties for a few days' recreation, there is within reasonable reach big-game hunting which for genuine sport will hold its own with any in the world.
