and a shower of burning particles rose in the air and 

 glowed for more than a second. 



When we developed the plate we found that the old 

 bear had backed up against the tree and, with bared teeth 

 and savage mien, had faced the unexpected danger. The 

 picture was far from perfect, but it gives a notion of his 

 splendid proportions and of his savage courage. I have 

 called it "At Bay." 



And so ended our summer's work. We brought away 

 a thousand memories and about a dozen flash-light photo- 

 graphs.
