. Audubon and his journals [microform]. Birds; Ornithology; Oiseaux; Ornithologie. I 500 AUDUBON peeped in and saw the Wolves, two black, and the other brindled, all of goodly size, sure enough. They lay flat on the earth, their ears laid close over the head, their eyes indicating fear more than anger. " But how are we to get them out.'" "How, sir.'" said the farmer; "why, by going down, to be sure, and hamstringing them." Be- ing a novice in these matters, I begged to be merely a looker-on. "With all my heart, " quoth the farmer; "stand here and look at me through the brush." Where- upon he glided down, taking with him his axe and knife, and leaving his rifle to my care. I was not a little sur- prised to see the cowardice of the Wolves. He pulled out successively their hind legs, and with a side stroke of the knife cut the principal tendon above the joint, exhib- iting as little fear as if he had been marking lambs.

In a short time he returned out of breath, and wiping his forehead with the back of his hand — "Now for it."

Letting him drop on the ground, the farmer loosened the rope by means of a stick, and left him to the dogs, all of which set upon him with great fury and soon worried him to death. The second was dealt with in the same manner; but the third, which was prob- ably the oldest, as it was the blackest, showed some spirit the moment it was left loose to the merc
