front of us, They were not more than
20 yards away and the wolf made
straight for them. Panic stricken
at the sight of the wolf, the car they
were in jerked wildly about for a second
and then swerving about down some
ways. The wolf dashed straight into
their midst. They divided as tho'
cut by a knife. One half turned
about about, but the others kept
on coming until that we would
actually miss them down. The
wolf however had troubles of his
paws with the car so close on his
heels and kept straight ahead with
his nose to the ground.
We were aiming at him. I'd could
see his tongue hanging out when
Charles raised up, Mac & O were
jumped out & began shooting
while I sat still & cursed myself
for a fool in not putting all a
dead ball of film...O'll probably
never have the opportunity to get
another picture like it.
The boys did some very bad shooting
the wolf got off without a scratch
I'd could see him going like
mad almost between two antelopes
but he was almost out of sight
