A CHASE. 83 



The deer's speed was immediately checked ; Buskar was 

 not far behind, for soon afterwards, passing Bruin, he 

 seized the deer by the neck. Notwithstanding the weight 

 of the two dogs, which were hanging on him, having the 

 assistaiice of the slope of the ground, he continued 

 dragging them at a most extraordinary rate (in defiance 

 of their united exertions to detain him), and succeeding 

 more than once in kicking Bruin off. But he became 

 at length exhausted, the dogs succeeded in pulling him 

 down, and, though he made several attempts to rise, he 

 never completely regained his legs."
