before the boys got back in the car & we were after him again. The going was good & we jumped up to 40 miles within a few yards. The way was tired and within minutes we had him well in view again. He was eventually all on and as we neared him, I could see his tray hanging out & foam dripping from his jaws. We ran so close that Charles had to swing the car suddenly to one side & avoid running over him, & narrowly missed up- setting us. Charles pulled out his hi-automatic & fired down & fired at the wolf which was almost under its front wheels again. His bullet struck just behind the animal & he leaped out, fired down & sent a .30 bullet from his rifle into the wolf back, He rolled over snapping & biting at the wound and as pulled along side, with his lips drawn back one can see a set of ugly white teeth, he glared at us as much as to say "it's your next move but don't get too close". Coltman shot him, around & gave a sudden shiver.
