 Thinking that possibly the grizzly was hiding in 

 this small rocky area, I at once cautiously circled 

 every place behind which he might be concealed, 

 but without finding him. 



Out in the snow I made a larger circle and at last

 one hundred feet. Then, from the rocks, he had 

 made a long leap into a clump of bushes, from this 

 leaped into another clump of bushes, and finally 

 into the snow. He thus left the rocky place with-
