The rope was then made fast to a tree. The gentleman on horseback is probably Captain Pierre Offermann, the Belgian Army officer who was in charge of the expedition the Thaws went out on. While filming this capture, the Thaws obtained footage of him galloping his horse in among the stampeding elephants. (Now THAT was a brave man and a well-trained horse!)
