The captain did not wait any longer.
He knew that he was beseiged by q
wolf. and he had not forgotten the
way back TO camp. Captain says that
his feet are so tender that he was
never able to go barefooted when he
was boy, but on the way back to
camp he only touched the high places
in spite of the fact that there were
rocks and sticks in his path.
When he reached camp he said his
stockings were torn off from his feet,
but, strange to say, his feet We're not
injured. Unlike Lots wife, he never
once took time to look back ana he
says now. after thinking ii all over,
that the wolf was about as frightened
as he was and probably made a hasty
retreat in another direction.
