faced each other the dog sprang for the
gorilla and tried to sink his teeth in the
gorilla's tough hide, but he was uBsuc-
cessfal, as he could not penetrate the skin.
In less than one minute the gorilla had
caught the dog in his long, muscular arms
and sunk his long tusks repeatedly into
his neck and spine. la ten minutes the
dog was dead. It was with g;eat diff
