did turn a little from us. As previously 

 arranged, I gave the " One ! two ! " and the 

 report of our guns echoed through the woods. 

 He made a jump, wheeled, and started up the 

 meadow at a furious pace for a little. Well, 

 well, can it be possible neither of us hit him ? 

 We rushed to the spot where he had been 

 standing, to see if there were any evidences 

 of his being hit. We did not follow his track 

 20 feet before we saw, from the blood on the 

 grass, that he was badly hurt, while Jack, who 

 had been watching him from off a tree, called 

 out, " He has left the meadow about 250 

 yards up, and is going very slowly, as if very 

 hard hit." So we followed his track by the 

 blood on the grass, which led us to the place 

 where he took to the woods, and soon we 

 came to where he had been down, and ap- 

 parently had only just got up. About 75 

 yards farther on we found him a fine fellow 

 of over 500 Ibs. One bullet, the fatal one, 

 had gone through his neck just in front of the 

 shoulder, the other through the upper part of 

 the neck. That was a proud moment for us, 

 as it was our first moose. Jack was an old 

 hunter, and therefore to him it was no novelty.
