. Lives of the hunted, containing a true account of the doings of five quadrupeds & three birds, and in elucidation of the same, over 200 drawings . t a mad Wolf could have failedto take warning; but on he came, and Krag, insavage glory of the fight, let loose that livingthunderbolt, —himself, —and met the last of thefurry monsters with a shock that crushed himflat against the rock, then picked him up on hishorns as he might a rag, and hurled him farthestyet, and standing on the edge he watched himwhirl and gasp till swallowed in the chasm.
