They packed four horses with stuff 

 and led them over the ridge to the 

 east side of Tallac, and down away 

 from Jack's Peak, that Kellyan had 

 named in honor of his Bear cub, to- 

 ward Fallen Leaf Lake. The hunter 

 believed that here he would meet not 

 only the Gringo Bear that he was 

 after, but would also stand a chance 

 of finding others, for the place had 

 escaped the fire. 



They quickly camped, setting up 

 their canvas sheet for shade more than 

 against rain, and, after picketing their 

 horses in a meadow, went out to hunt. 

 By circling around Leaf Lake they 

 got a good idea of the wild popula- 

 tion : plenty of deer, some Black Bear, 

 and one or two Cinnamon and Grizzly, 

 and one track along the shore that 

 Kellyan pointed to, briefly saying: 

 " That's him."
