AN ADVENTURE WITH DUSKY WOLVES.
PART II.
"The wolves, thus nimbly eluded, now kept on after Harry, who, in turn,
became the object of our anxiety.
"In a moment they were close upon him; but he, already warned by his
brother, wheeled in a similar manner, while the fierce brutes, swept
along by the force of their running, were carried a long distance upon
the ice before they could turn themselves.
"Their long, bushy tails, however, soon enabled them to turn about and
follow in the new direction, and they galloped after Harry, who was now
the nearest to them.
"Frank, in the meantime, had again turned, and came sweeping past behind
them, at the same time shouting loudly, as if to tempt them away from
their pursuit of Harry.
"They heeded him not, and again he changed his direction, and, as though
he was about to skate into their midst, followed the wolves.
"This time he skated up close behind them, just at the moment when Harry
had turned again, and thus made his second escape.
"At this moment, we heard Frank calling out to his brother to make for
the shore, while, instead of retreating himself, he stopped until Harry
had passed, and then dashed off, followed closely by the whole pack.
