"I slipped two more dogs
and we started. When within
50 yards I ran ahead with
the camera, got two photos
of Chin as he turned on the
dogs from about 50 feet.
As I ran along with
Chin I noticed a peculiar
thing, — he was skirting
with his front feet! — I
have never seen this
mentioned in any of my
reading.
With only one exposure
left while I am caring
for a famiile bear toward me,
I thought it time to shout.
I ran back to ledge
grasped my 3-3 and dropped
Chin. My big ring and the
blacks stayed right with him
to the last. The Co-Bevoyan
dog came back.
Hu tells me that my
fup "Bill-ah-ga-do," is one of
the best bear dogs he has ever
seen. I think so much of
Chin that I did not dare
to let him loose for fear that
he might be injured."
