Wade rode toward this, keeping somewhat to the right, as he wanted to camp at the edge of the woods.
Soon he rode out beyond one of the projecting peninsulas of forest to find the park spreading wider in that direction.

He saw horses grazing with elk, and far down at the notch, where evidently the park had outlet in a narrow valley, he espied the black, hump-shaped, shaggy forms of buffalo.

They bobbed off out of sight.

Then the elk saw or scented him, and they trotted away, the antlered bulls ahead of the cows.

Wade wondered if the horses were wild.
