Hunting the Grisly and Other Sketches

CHAPTER VIII
19/43

Pretty soon the jack turned slightly, and ran near one of the outside ones, saw it, became much frightened, and turned at right angles, so as soon to nearly run into the other outside one, which had kept straight on.

This happened several times, and then the confused jack lay down under a sage-bush and was seized.

One would make a feint of attack, and lure the dam into a rush at him, while the other stole round to get at the kid.
