The musk-rat we caught in box traps like a mouse trap.

The wild-cat we ran down like the 'loup cervier'-- " "What kind of an animal is that ?" asked Mr.Maxwell.
"It is a lynx, belonging to the cat species.

They used to prowl about the country killing hens, geese, and sometimes sheep.

They'd fix their tushes in the sheep's neck and suck the blood.
"They did not think much of the sheep's flesh.

We ran them down with dogs.
