The most risky part of the whole performance
was when the men. none of them acquainted
with the tempers of the bears, dragged Esau INTO
the far corner of sleeping den and placed him
on he ST
beast from the Afridi, they would have had to
fight him.
Esau saved. and no one was hurt. FOR
men who are mechanics and laborers and entire
~ unaccustomed to handling savage animals,
the rescue of Esau was a courageous act the
Geological Society, through the director OF the
Park Mr. Hornaday, has taken special notice
of It in complimentary letter to the men, ac-
companied by a cash token of appreciation.
