 Such funny little coal-black creatures they were, with gray patch on their forehcads. great, soft black eyes. enormously large, bony knock-kneed legs. and no tails at all,
 With the falling of the last musk-ox, my dogs made rush for the little animals, which, though wide-eyed and trembling with fear showed a bold front tJ the savage unknown creatures which rounded them. Fortunately, I was too quick for the dogs, ard rescued the E,t!e fellows.
