At this rate they went on for long enough, until both began to fail, and to appear nearly run down.

At length the gallaut Koolawn had her; she gave a squeal that was heard, they say, for miles.

He had her, I say, hard and fast by the hip, but it was only for a moment; how she escaped; from him nobody knows; but it was thought that he wasn't able, from want of breath, to keep his hoult.
To make a long story short, she got off from him, turned up towards the; cabin we're sittin' in, Koolawn, game as ever, still close to her; at last she got in, and as the dog was about to spring in afther her, he found the door shut in his face.

There now was the proof of it; but wait till you hear what's comin'.

The men all ran up here and opened the door, for there was only a latch upon it, and if the hare was in existence, surely they'd find her now.
