He Leads the Way
On valiant officer chose to take the lead. He dove right into the water to tie ropes around the frantic creature and risked his own life to do it. This poor elephant was in severe distress and could hurt the officer unintentionally.
Must Be Careful
The officers knew they had to work fast and be careful, too. While the elephant could still breathe, it was thrashing around in the water. With that, the ocean was rough, but the officers finally secured the creature to the boat.
