When one of these is brought forth to dispatch a criminal, if his keeper desires that the offender be destroyed speedily, this vast creature will instantly crush him to atoms under his foot; but if desired to torture him, will break his limbs successively, as men are broken on the wheel."
Norwegian[nb]
Når en av disse ble brakt fram for å henrette en kriminell, ble denne raskt knust til atomer under sin fot dersom dette var elefantvokterens vilje; men dersom man ønsket tortur, knuste elefanten hans lemmer en etter en, som når de blir radbrukket.»
