Siam: Kenneth on Ken Well's Experience with a Buffalo

Kenneth tells again the story of Ken Wells and the buffalo, near Hua Hin, where the King had a palace. He had come down on the railroad to be with Margaretta and the rest of them, and being impatient to get to the beach, he had taken a shortcut through the fields. When he was well into them, it dawned on him that the fields were filled with mud wallow holes with buffalo in them, and they had begun to go after him because he smelled like a foreigner. To save his life, Ken went right down into the nearest mud hole and stayed there until they all went back to where they were. He then slowly got himself out and walked to the beach where he plunged into the water
