[by this means could avoid them, viz !:
by tursing aside whenever they came too
near; for they by the formation Of their

and the wolves slipping upon their haunch-

picture fhelplessncss and bafiied rage

each turning. This was repeated two or
three times, every moment the iinals get
ting more encitcd and bafiied.
1t one time, by delnyingmy turning too
long, my fierce antagonists came so near,
that they sprang to seize me, and their teeth
clashed together like spring of a fox trap.
