Jones seized his opportunity and rode after them, yelling with all his might.

He drove them so hard that soon the little fellows lagged paces behind.

Bewildered, the tously little bull bellowed in great affright.
The hunter seized the stiff tail, and calling to his horse, leaped off.
But his strength was far spent and the buffalo, larger than his fellows, threshed about and jerked in terror.

Jones threw it again and again.
