through us The mother cat was coming!
To say that the girls ran would not be to
describe the manner of their getting over the
gr1nna,-they flew like partridges.
=. we boys brought up the rear, and very
lively rear it was, too; although, to do us
justice, it must be said that we would have
tried to protect the girls at all hazards. as
long as wei had eyes or hands left us. For this
purpose we picked up stones as we ran.
remember hoping that the old wildcat
would stop ON reaching her young and for a
few seconds she probably did so, or she would
nav! nave been closer upon our heels But, mean
time, her cries were answered from two or
three directions, till it seemed as if the rocks
must be swarming with wildcats. "Waow-
aaoow!" came the frightful sounds as we went
leaping on.
But what was our dsmay on arriving at the
rlver-bank to find that the skiff was gone. We
had not fastened it securely, and the current
had swept it away
What was to be done now? The rocks to
right and left shut us into the chasm where
the furious cat behind AS we paused we
seemed almost to feel those sharp claws in
our backs.
In minute or two we saw 1.-THE, brin-
died shape bounding in pursuit of us. At the
same moment another looked down from the
cliff on our left and squalled fearfully. She
was right over our heads.
There was but one refuge, and that an
almost hopeless one. Quick as thought we
leaped down to the fiat rock over which our
boat had foated and waded off to its farther
edge. Beyond, and on both sides of us, the
water was very deep, but on the top of this
Hat rock its depth was not more than fifteen
inches.
We were now about twenty feet from the
shell, we had left which was, perhaps, ten
feet high.
The next minute there were two huge wild
cats upon this shelf, garing at us with great
yellow eyes. Presently there came a third,
then fourth, and at last fifth. Five Wild
CATS all with short, bristling tails, and broad
claws that semed fairly to sink into the rock
as they clutched its edge.
But they did not leap for u.s. The water
appeared to deter them, although we feared
it would not long do So. The squalls they
set up were as frightfu as their eyes and
claws. Their mouths were all open at once,
and they actually seemed to talk. But such
talk! 1t could have been heard for mile
There they stood in row, five big Wild
CATS bristling, splitting and screaming out
their rage, while we, half dead with terror,
crept to the very edge of our forlorn refuge,
expecting them upon us every moment
We were wet from head to foot with the
water that had splashed over us. The girls
