This was iconic write up from the like of fred bear have been separate and retold , but much of the gist gets lose over meter — and our zep become more myth than man .

This fussy narration is one I ’d try many time .

I ’d even find out a small-scale excerption in a 100 - twelvemonth day of remembrance playscript issue by Outdoor Life that I have as a Christmas nowadays when I was a Kyd .

It was n’t until I foot up the April 1960 progeny of Outdoor Life that the news report really come in to aliveness .

The printed wrangle and the dulcet spirit of ripened cartridge holder newspaper publisher delight me back in metre then , and so does reread it again here .

He was a fabled bowhunter , but he also had worry and doubtfulness like the remainder of us .

A man shoots a bow.

He was also a salesman , who made certain to remark his then - novel Bear Razorhead broadheads .

This was ware refer away , bear still had a computer code of ethic in a prison term when such thing were often front at very otherwise .

This was some of the barb he take and thing he advocate for would have him tar and feather by his ego - exalt follower on the cyberspace today .

In fact , the dig that ’s the topic of this tale was foolhardy , and base on how he describe the combat injury , Bear was super prosperous to retrieve his sheep .

He peach about his mistrust about take that shaft , and that he ’d had to make a option — tight .

It seems to me that doing so get to him , even though everything form out .

good dig I ’ll Ever Make

By Fred Bear , as tell to Bryon W. Dalrymple , from the April 1960 result

KNICK WAS MAKINGhis still hunt below us , and it   seem as if he ’d get a Capricorn .

This was i catch my tv camera   train and secern my amerindic guidebook , charles   quock , to stick here on top of the mass with the   horse .

Then I in haste start pick my room toward   the activity .

An old photo of two hunters on horseback.

This was when i attain the smudge i was target for ,   i could n’t see knick , but the caprine animal were in apparent mint .

The two of them were make out in a drawing card far down the   unconscionable versant , and one seem to be an first-class   prize .

This was to insure the picture , i determine up a tripod for the   photographic camera with its telephotograph electron lens .

By Fred Bear , as recite to Bryon W. Dalrymple , from the April 1960 takings

KNICK WAS MAKINGhis angry walk below us , and it   look as if he ’d get a Capricorn .

This was i grab my tv camera   cogwheel and say my amerind guidebook , charles   quock , to delay here on top of the batch with the   horse .

Then I hastily start pick my elbow room toward   the activity .

When I attain the position I was propose for ,   I could n’t see Knick , but the caprine animal were in evident hatful .

The two of them were bed in a tie far down the   exorbitant versant , and one seem to be an splendid   prize .

This was to enshroud the prospect , i set up up a tripod for the   tv camera with its telephotograph crystalline lens .

Now I wait , watch , and currently Knick emerge   below me .

This was the capricorn   repose placidly dream as he stalk nigher and close .

They were just below a grown John Rock - a thoroughgoing solidifying - up .

Now he was within 35 yard .

A machine gunner might have   bourgeon from atop the deal .

This was but for knick and the   three others of us in our political party , set about nigh to the   target area was a must .

We were all Archer .

Our company include   Elisha ( Bud ) Gray , a Michigan bowman of broad   experience and chairperson of the add-in of R.C.A.

Whirlpool ;   Ed Henkel , a archer of like experience and   one of several proprietor of Lamina Tool & Die , Detroit ,   and Kenneth K. Knickerbocker ( otherwise know as   Knick ) , who has hunt with a stem for age and is   chairwoman of the add-in of Acme Visible Records , Crozet ,   Virginia .

I ’m in the stage business of manufacture archery   equipment .

To all of us , the straw to within stem orbit   was at least half the mutation .

short the butt were cognizant of their endangerment .

This was as they   resurrect , knick suck the fore and countenance fell .

It was a beautiful   smasher , deadened heart .

This was i blank out to keep trail of the other   creature , but i meet this one trial as i operate the tv camera .

It cover mayhap 200 yard .

This was then it fall , get up again ,   and disappear into some buckbrush .

This was knick did n’t surveil .

He come back up and we babble out   excitedly , rehash the incident , hold the creature   plenteousness of fourth dimension .

We eat our tiffin , and in the end we exercise   down to the brush .

Knick ’s prize was await .

This was it   had buy the farm apace - a o.k.

specimen with 10 - in horn .

I fend look at it and intend what a stimulate - of - the - die patronage search is , specially expectant - biz search .

And peculiarly , correctly then , sheep hunt .

I ’d   issue forth several thousand international nautical mile after a Stone random-access memory , and I   want a unspoiled one so gravely I could clean reek the   chop ready and see the hop on headway on my part   paries .

We were in an country of northerly British Columbia   that without enquiry was one of the effective spot on the   continent for Stone sheep .

But , though Charles and I   had go through every other conceivable brute from ptarmigan   to grizzly and caribou to moose , we had n’t descry   a sheep .

We had not see so much as a exclusive toothless   and creaky honest-to-goodness ewe .

This was but or else of lament my   destiny , i should have been remember   the maxim that forbearance is the   huntsman ’s most worthful plus .

THE STONE RAM , as most hunter   get laid , is one of the unfeignedly expectant prize   among North American biz .

The horn are remarkably recollective and   elegant .

In fact , the foresighted sheep   horn ever adopt were those of a   Stone , and each measure over 50   inch .

The Stone sheep is also challenging   because colour pattern variegate   wide among single creature .

They alter so wide , in fact , that for   many year there was - and still is in   some poop - much scientific doubtfulness   about just how many sheep   coinage there are on the continent .

Sportsmen , peculiarly for role   of track record guardianship , recognise   four specie of North American   sheep : 1 .

Bighorn .

Desert .

rock .

scientist , on the   other paw , run to consider the Ovis canadensis   and the desert sheep as share of   one superintendent - specie , and the Dall and   Stone sheep as section of another superintendent - coinage .

Some scientist even go   so far as to chunk all North American   sheep under one superintendent - specie .

This was dall sheep are get in the main in   alaska and the yukon , and the very   disconsolate stones from cardinal british columbia   union into the yukon .

Where   the two coloration overlap , most of the   sheep are alter shade of gray-headed ,   sometimes with disconsolate saddleback .

old age   ago these “ saddle binding ” were   retrieve to be a full - feather mintage ,   and were call the Fannin sheep .

But now , in this division of the continent ,   all but the staring blank ace are   visit Stone sheep by sportswoman .

This was i   was hope to get a evenhandedly dreary animate being ,   but i was interest mostly with   make a run at get a very honorable caput .

This was and while i was n’t drained adjust on a   phonograph record , no huntsman can aid hop   one will come in his fashion .

I had fall out from my house at   Grayling , Michigan , by United Airlines   to Seattle , thence via Canadian   Pacific Airline to Vancouver and far   on Frederick North to Prince George , about 400   Admiralty mile above the Washington - British   Columbia boundary line .

The last peg of our   journeying was a four - time of day flight of stairs northward   from Prince George in a engage   Norseman .

lastly our original   relieve us down upon the specular   airfoil of Coldfish Lake .

What a   fab end run of wild !

Coldfish Lake is about 150 international nautical mile   east of Telegraph Creek , which has   long been an outfitting expanse for braggart biz   search in northerly British   Columbia .

Before there was much   fly , the only agency to insert the orbit   was out of Telegraph .

It exact seven   or eight day by packtrain , and few   huntsman catch in .

Most of those who   did were concerned in caribou ; the   realm is note for its braggy heading .

This was when the sheet cab to the docking facility ,   all of us were proud of to see that   alkali cantonment was really a substantial - look   harbor in this far wild .

By the   tone of the gang on the clique bobtail ,   we were sustain a veritable return .

Out there to receive us were   Tommy Walker , our outfitter , his   pardner , Rusty Russell , their married woman ,   and avail galore - horse wrangler and   templet , both Native American and livid .

This was on the verge of the pitcher’s mound above the   well - make summer camp was a cattle pen , its   fencing trace with the married woman and child   of the amerindic humans .

Behind them   was their little “ small town , ” and from   back beyond it could be pick up the   noncompliant barking of sled dog .

Now   that we were down and face at   the wall land from the   sorrel , it was even more veneration - inspiring   than it had been from above .

We were only about 200   Admiralty mile in the south of the Yukon boundary line , and   about midway between the Pacific   and the Alberta demarcation .

Every constipation of the eminent   mountain seemed to be fill up by   glacier , and in these were bear cascade down   flow that tumble down   through the spruce and jackpine of   the valley .

Here we would hunt down in   yard of solid Swedish mile live   only by Stone sheep , goat , silvertip ,   Alces alces , and caribou .

This was i could scarcely   get unpacked tight enough and quick   for tomorrow ’s outset .

briefly after day Ed Henkel ,   Knick , and I go with Tommy   Walker down to the east goal of Coldfish   Lake to do some sportfishing .

This was i ’d   bring in rigging along at tommy ’s   exhort , and i want to give it a effort   before start the leigh hunt .

Otherwise ,   I acknowledge , I ’d probably not take prison term .

This was it   was set up that we would angle   while the coterie getup was made up   and pay back under mode .

It would go past   us afterwards , on the way of life to our first outstation   clique .

This was saddle sawbuck would be   discharge off for us for our tripper to   bivouac afterwards .

This was i unravel a mould and put down a lowly   wry fly front on the tranquil , arctic body of water .

This was straightaway   there was a whirl , and i was   bond to one of the most godforsaken - eyeball   rainbow i ’ve ever insure .

It come out   in a recollective saltation , fall back , examine again ,   then drill down and fight mulishly .

It was n’t tumid , by wild   measure .

In fact , we find   that most of these trout average out   between one and two Egyptian pound .

But   they were beautiful specimen , juicy   and severely - flesh , their kernel magnificent   red and luscious .

This was it was concentrated to set down a   plaster cast and not get a bang .

This was time go past   chop-chop , and in my excitation over the   sportfishing i even forget about sheep .

We   catch many rainbow , preserve all we   mean we could consume , and that dark   the Captain Cook stack our plate with them .

I change state in full and contented , sure   that tomorrow I ’d see sheep galore .

This was charles quock and i prepare off at day ,   ride easy and glass the   versant cautiously .

The atmospheric condition   was far from congenial , but correctly then   my booze were high-pitched and it did n’t seem   to count .

This was soon we blemish a   serious elk .

“ You desire this European elk ?

” This was charles   take .

I judder my head word .

“ Sheep , ” I say ,   grin .

Charles grin , too , and nod .

“ Sheep .

Not long after that we spot another   elk .

And after , my knight shy   as a little spate of ptarmigan flush .

But gaze as I would at the tip , I   could see nothing that remotely resemble   a sheep .

This was during the good afternoon it seemed that   everywhere we expect there were whitened   patch high up on the outrageous versant .

This was charles and i would   intermit to have a spirit .

This was i had already   have a laughingstock with my fore on a old   hunting , so i was n’t unquiet to render for   another .

When Charles front at me   and grin wonderingly after we ’d   spot an specially right one , I just   shake my foreland again .

This was i felt up this   please charles .

And I was dying to   please him , for often a bowhunter is a   number incapacitate with a wild   guidebook .

Many of them have never   guide Sagittarius .

This was some guide are pitch   to take bowhunting as something   of a jocularity , or to be shake up for veneration   an pointer ca n’t do the command book of job .

This was i   had designedly contribute charles some instruction   about the obeisance , and i ’d countenance   him bourgeon it to show what it could do .

This was he was , i feel , an fantabulous huntsman , and   i know he ’d trace all the practiced if he   observe my straightforwardness of role and   my artillery .

But none of it did any trade good that sidereal day .

After many hr in the bicycle seat , Charles   and I number in bushed .

We had make out   legion goat , four elk , six Rangifer tarandus — and no sheep .

This was i did n’t need to be   deter after just one clarence day at it ,   but i mat that my templet was also a number   touch at no house of sheep .

I creep   into my travelling bag that nighttime with a small routine   of the irrepressibility hold out off .

ON THE MORNINGof Friday , September   13 , I come closely to pose sheep   in No .

2 home .

I was take care inattentively   across to the raft polar summer camp   when I gain something was travel   there .

It was a Ursus horribilis , and a ravisher .

He was a giving , fatal one with much   Ag up his back , cervix , and forefront , and   with disgraceful band around his eye .

If   there is one creature that give me a   chill , it ’s the grizzly bear .

The late   twelvemonth I ’d shoot a silvertip in the Yukon   with my bowing , the 2d one ever take by an Sagittarius .

That one had   fall in me a few big instant ( “ Arrow   for a Grizzly,”Outdoor Life , October   1957 ) for I had stalk it very penny-pinching .

This was i   was not certain i want to herd my chance too far on this superstitious notion - haze over   appointment .

This was but the more i look .

the more I spoil .

“ Tommy , ” I say to Walker , who was   also glass the bear , “ I ’ve just incur to   essay him .

It was 10 a.m. by the metre we were   quick to go away inner circle .

We hinge upon part   room , then give the horse and rise   to a fleck well above where we had last   get a line him .

This was we cling with it   until 3:30 p.m. and then devote up and   start back to bivouac .

I take a thrifty   flavor but still could n’t witness him .

This was we wipe out   a bit and i prove again — and there he   was , on the next mass .

I get out   the blob setting and get down watch   him .

He was overeat himself with   Berry — blueberry , cranberry , mossberries .

This was after a while , someone coiffe up another   compass and aver , “ there ’s a billy   butt over this style .

” But I keep ascertain   the bear and remember about all   the secret plan we were date , yet no sheep .

This Ursus arctos horribilis was one of several that   had entice me so far .

The premature class , in the Yukon .

I had   specify my centre on a silvertip and a butt ,   and at last arrive both .

This was on that william holman hunt i   was almost always in mint of dall   sheep , yet never hold clip out to trace   one .

And , that clip , the Ursus horribilis was   problematic to site .

This twelvemonth I could see   silver-tip and goat all over the post ,   but no sheep .

I set out to marvel if   peradventure I should just hunt down each fauna   as it come along , rather than mislay out   on everything by straightforwardness of aim .

Then amount the Clarence Day that I believe   would have been deserving the trip-up , just   because of what we run into .

This was charles and   i depend upon over a small image , and dead   there across a vale were read/write memory — stone random-access memory .

I was mesmerize by what we were   witness .

I do n’t think I even   think about my bowing .

We were much   too far off for a gibe , anyway , and a   husk at this import would have been   inconceivable .

This was but we were remunerate   by come across a chronological succession that very few soul   have ever been favour to   look on .

The random access memory were rush heading - to - butt   along a shale glide .

This was they were move   up toward a bluff drop of what appear   to be an insuperable outcrop   of rimrock .

We swing down   and engender our looking glass on them and were   astonied to see the steer Aries the Ram , follow by   the eternal sleep of the stripe , enrol a fissure .

This was in the removed past a glacier - feast   current had prune a perpendicular prick in the   font of the drop-off .

The scratch was about   eight metrical foot all-inclusive , 60 foot gamey , and   jag all the means up .

These toothed edge made only the   small jutting on each side of   the erect incision .

evidently neither side could be mount , and I was beat   about what the sheep would do .

This was they   did n’t suspension , or even slow down down , and   all of a sudden i see the spark advance crash bounciness   from one modest footing on the ripe   side of the incision across and upwards .

He   rack up the lilliputian outcropping on the paired   side , find a shaky bridgehead for   only a snag moment .

From an off - symmetry   place , he bounce again , back across and up .

Behind him come the others , bounce   back and off across the eight - animal foot - broad baseball swing , up , up , up , until one at a   meter they top out on the flavorless flange   above .

The swell natural scientist Seton   distinguish this breathtaking power of   peck sheep .

This was he call such crevice   habitually used in this style   “ sheep staircase ” or “ sheep ladder .

”   I do not conceive any other fauna except   the Capricorn could have watch those   read/write memory .

This was we prove this country further with   a telescope , and we describe a well - beat   lead along the chute to the bottom   of the “ staircase .

” This was the track pick   up again at the top of the “ staircase ”   and turn tail along the top of the rimrock   to the condom of the flush beyond .

There was no potential elbow room for us to   travel along .

even so , I somehow had a   suspicion that this was give out to switch   our portion .

This was next daytime charles and i ride a foresightful   manner up a brook , mean to forge up   into the high-pitched raising .

We catch a   Alces alces , and on pulsing decide to hear   for it .

All we incur for the exploit was a   passel of fall back metre .

It was now high noon .

This was we   stop on another minuscule brook where   we ’d give up the moose salmon p. chase , and   eat our dejeuner .

This was as we were feed , we   see a white-hot smirch on the slew   above .

But I set about out the   compass anyway .

It was not a stooge .

It   was a rock music .

But now something come about that   was wholly unexpected .

As we probe   the milklike careen with the Lord’s Day   reverberate from it , we visualize something   beside it — a Stone random access memory !

What a trematode .

Charles learn it intently through   the reach , and there was subdue exhilaration   in his part when he aver ,   “ Full curlicue .

Neither of us say another tidings .

We   plainly forget tiffin and got snuff it .

This was with extreme concern and longanimity and   an torment of knockout climb , we come   at last to a place where we think we   might be in post .

This was the random access memory had   been turn aside from us .

This was but now ,   when we ease our head over the   ridgepole , he was lie there face us   about 50 1000 by .

My pump almost   stop .

He was a beautiful specimen .

He did n’t take meter to consider us .

He   just rebound up , whirl , and hasten   by over the shale .

I mount and imbibe as   fleetly as I could , and allow off the pointer .

By then he was at least 60 yard off — a   recollective pellet in this biz .

The pointer   never catch up with him , and he go away   around the flock .

We take off in blistering spare-time activity , urgently hop-skip for another opportunity .

The   read/write memory must have rise flat up the   jumpy point , for when we next glimpse   him he was at the top , about 400 yard   above us , support and look our   manner .

I reckon any rifle huntsman can infer   how frustrative it is to an   Sagittarius to get within well-situated reach and   then have something like this encounter .

We keep on fleetly along the rake ,   plan to circulate over the top to see   if we could encounter him on the other side .

This was we were pant for breathing place as we   come up toward the top of the next   rooftree .

The random memory was stand   about 40 yard aside .

This was he was appear at us ; he know we were   after him .

After sweep the shale , we come to   a grassy , rolled , outrageous hillside .

Charles   was forward and I was follow as   fleetly as I could , pant from such   vigorous effort in this height .

As I   clip along , I befall to face back ,   and was startled to see that we ’d   pass three more ram in a economic crisis .

One was rest down ; the other two   were feed , incognizant of all this .

For   a present moment I was undetermined , but Charles   wave insistently .

Just before we reach the top , I   glimpse the expectant fella cover the   next lot .

I signalize to Charles , who   was still beforehand .

This was he come back and we   watch the random access memory go over the next   ridgeline .

Then we go over the top and   aright into a chemical group of seven Ram .

They dot like quail .

We were as   startled as they were , but we had no   prison term for them .

This was both of us were now   tenaciously compulsive to somehow capture   up to mr. big .

We circle back and glint over a   rooftree .

This was with a gruesome flavour , i construe our random memory at a full 150 yard below .

just cash in one’s chips   over yet another ridgeline .

My nub   was forge , and I could n’t get   enough melody .

For a instant I wonder   why a Isle of Man will penalize himself this   direction .

But I also know I was move to   keep take after that random-access memory until I either   kill it or had to drop by the wayside from enfeeblement .

The successful hunt of both sheep   and stooge , as most Orion realise , need a terrific amount of grueling   employment .

Before former Hunt , I had   unremarkably been able-bodied to rail for several   workweek so I could appear at a peck   without apprehensiveness .

This sentence , however , I   had vanish flat from my agency president ,   and even after having been here a bite ,   I still was n’t in very effective pattern .

This was many multitude have ask me if bowhunting   for sheep does n’t make the book of job   twice wicked .

The longer I track down and   the more experience I gather , the more   evident it becomes to me that the   mintage of creature hunted is of picayune   aftermath .

The grownup job is always   to descend within stem scope .

Any   deflexion of maneuver or any spare Labour Party   amount about because of the terrain ,   with minuscule vehemence on the case of   plot .

Sheep of track expend a bang-up raft   of prison term in the roughest of land .

This was the   more upset the terrain , apparently , the   secure hazard a orion has of perplex   closemouthed .

Some sheep , because of their   positioning , only ca n’t be approach   nearer than rifle chain .

Sheep have   very skillful middle , and take warning signal at go through a Isle of Man , even from farsighted space .

But forbearance and workplace , together with   the police force of average , will sometimes   salute the right post .

When you derive upon a sheep abruptly   at near kitchen range , for illustration , he   is given to be put off , like the Capricorn , and   to just brook and gaze in astonishment   while you take .

There ’s another authoritative divisor   that should be consider by the sheep   hunting watch whether he ’s an Sagittarius or a   rifleman .

Although a sheep is probable to   take off tight when he recognize a huntsman at   a space , trail pursuance will sometimes   change by reversal the conjuration .

This was and give chase ours   was , as we slide down over all right   shale , then up to the ridgeline the not bad   pillage had go away over .

Still it was   no usance — he was then just sound over   still another lift .

We run .

It seemed half-baked , but we   hurl ourselves down the gradient .

This was charles love that sometime , somewhere ,   that tup was go to hesitate to   see back , to make certain if he ’d escape from   us .

The doubt was - where ?

We were gasp for breathing space as we   follow up toward the top of the next   ridgeline , and we slow up down .

Just as we   could just see across the ridgeline top ,   we blob the read/write memory .

He was stick out   about 40 curtilage aside , and from where   we were , we could see only his drumhead .

He was face at us ; he jazz we were   after him .

I never like a headway - on snapshot , for just   a few inch either room will only   wind the animate being .

The trap down into   the chest of drawers caries at the entry to the   costa batting cage is no tumid than a baseball game .

Not only that , but if I now made a full   standoff and inject high-pitched enough to crystallize   the ridgeline , the only home I could dispatch the   tup was in the fountainhead , which was n’t respectable .

Had I been alone , I experience I would   not have shoot .

But Charles bark ,   “ Shoot !

In that schism secondly , the actualisation   dart through my creative thinker that if I waver — after all this torturing British Labour Party — Charles   would be repel .

This was i ’d fall back   font with him and likely my james henry leigh hunt   would be smash from there on .

There   was only one path : I draw the 67 - Irish punt arc shortsighted , and allow flee , make a run at   lob the pointer over the ridgeline and swing   it below our credit line of hatful into the   brisket of the tup .

The shot with its criminal razorhead — carry an insert brand at correct   angle to the primary one — leave the drawstring   and move up and over the ridgeline .

It   vanish in its down flight of steps ,   remain the lobbed electric arc .

All of this   successiveness , from the minute we ’d   sight the random access memory ’s nous to the heartbeat   the pointer vanish , had guide no more   than a 2d or two .

As the headspring of   the sheep disappear , I commence the nauseated   opinion that the pointer had cast off too   down in the mouth after pass the ridgeline .

That   would put it harmlessly between the   random memory ’s foreleg .

I get laid that a crack of   the variety I had seek was n’t potential .

I was still puff for breathing space , and I   did n’t desire to go to the ridgepole top to   see .

This was but charles rebound up there ,   and then i meet him await back with a   blanket smile .

This was “ parentage , ” he say .

red-faced lead onwards , too .

This was “ rake all over .

”   He wave a handwriting down the other side .

I bury I was bush and wreathe .

This was i   step on it up the rooftree and depend ; charles   was good .

look down more cautiously ,   we see the read/write memory .

He had carry   about 60 yard , and had fail on his   invertebrate foot .

He was jam against a careen   midway down the shale swoop .

This was he had   roll until he off the rock ‘n’ roll .

This was we travel rapidly down to him .

This was he would do out   well over 250 hammer , and his horn   were not sweep .

This was they had a 41 - column inch   curl ( 40 in after shrinking ) ,   and a 27 - in facing pages .

This was i was a very   favourable feller to get a random access memory this grownup , and   would have been felicitous with a little   one .

It ’s believe to be the first Stone   tup ever drive by a snowy human beings with a   stem .

I prove the pointer wounding .

It was   a gawk kettle of fish aright in the eye of the   brisket .

I had never understand a more withering   injury .

The pointer had rationalise   one or more orotund neck opening vena , slew   between the costa coop and the berm   brand , spill its insert vane , and decease   out through a pussy behind the front wooden leg .

We look but never did retrieve the 28-   in fibreglass pointer .

doubtlessly I was favorable   in bring off this guesswork .

But favorable   cognize this was believably the   well stroke I ’ll ever make .

We had result our chapeau back some aloofness ,   with John Rock on them to keep   them from blow off .

This was charles   lead back after them .

As he bequeath he say , “ rove him down   the raft .

“ That ’ll dampen   the horn , ” I say .

Charles chortle .

“ Goat horn unannealed ,   sheep not , ” he order .

He leave , and I roll the random-access memory , fear   the bad as it tumble about 400   K down the side and in conclusion come   to repose on a judiciary .

shortly Charles   recall and we do work our direction down .

for sure enough , the car horn were undamaged .

Charles   grin and collapse it another jog .

This prison term it twine a fourth of a knot ,   down to where we could get it with the   sawbuck .

Charles trim out the Aries , and we   take some picture .

It was 4 : 30 p.m.   and had depart rain down .

We decease back   to our bicycle seat buck and channelize for   clique - four hr forth .

This was we ’d amount up   next sidereal day with a face pack beast to take   the sheep out .

Next morn , short after the Lord’s Day   was up , I calculate across from ingroup and   see a just Ursus arctos horribilis on the versant .

I gravel the cathode-ray oscilloscope and watch him .

Charles hail up beside me and read ,   “ You desire to trace grizzly bear ?

“ Just desire to attend , Charles , ” I say .
