to where we had seen the nyan, and soon made 

 them out in a good position for a stalk ; but, after 

 scanning them through the telescope, and being 

 sure that none of them had horns much over thirty 

 inches, I remembered my determination of " nothing 

 but big ones in future," and desisted from the chase. 

 From this camp in the evening I espied a wolf, 

 but he kept carefully at a distance of at least 

 a quarter of a mile, and I could not get a shot 

 at him.
