bear In the flank. Maddened by the
pain, the bear rushed toward the hun

at the animal as it descended upon
him, five of the bullets taking effec..
but only tending to increase its fury.
Just as the enraged bear reached
him, and prepared to strike him down,
Bradley threw away his gun which
was now useless and drew his hunt
Ing knife. plunging it into the ami
mails side to the hilt. He reached the
heart and had the satisfaction of see-
ing the animal drop dead at his feet.
Bradley escaped with a few scratches.
