CHAPTER XIII.
ENGLISH LION AND CANADIAN BEAR LIE DOWN TOGETHER.
That such violence and bloodshed as that about Fort Douglas, should be seen by British subjects under the flag which stands for justice and equal rights made sober-minded Britons blush.

While Lord Selkirk's agents on the banks of the Red River may have been aggressive in pushing their rights, yet to the Canadians was chargeable the greater part of the bloodshed.

This was but natural.

To the hunter, the trapper, and the frontiersman the use of firearms is familiar.

The fur trader protects himself thus from the bear and the panther.
