investigate and found tho two dogs
engaged in a scramble with some
wild boast in the dark. Striking a

Tho man rushed back into the sleep-

useless arm with all his force at the
panther. This scared the brute and
in attempting to escape rushed into
tho sleeping room among the men
and took refuge under tho bunks.

among the half-awakened occupants
until finally ono of the boys suc-
ceeded in dispatching tho "critter
