gun or pistol, but he defended himself
with the butt of huge whip, and wolf
after wolf was downed by the stunning
blows which he gave them. Knocked
out and paralyzed for moment, they
would soon recover and return to
the charge even more ferocious than
ever.
To pacify their woltships and gain
time, Reichert threw out large piece
of meat, but it was seized and devoured
by these animal fends so quickly that
he gazed at them with the greatest as
constituent. Then on rushed the pack,
the taste of blood and meat having
fairly turned them into the most fero-
cious demons. The horses swept along
at a furious rate of speed, the sled
creaked and groaned, but the wolves
gained by jumps which seemed terribly
grim and ominous. A robe fell from the
sled, and a moment later it was riddled
to pieces. Again they were side by side
of the sled, and, with tongues lolling
out, teeth showing fiercely and eyes
glaring like balls of fire, they made
Reichert tremble for his safety. One
large and enterprising wolf had the
audacity TO spring upon the sled.
Reichert was ready, and gave him such
a blow on his head with the "black-
snake" that he dropped dead, and the
body rolled off the sled among his COM
panions. A few of them halted long
enough to tear him to pieces, while the
rest kept on. By this time the horses
had about given out, and the wolves
would have had little trouble in massa-
