FLIGHT OF THE GREENHORN. 81] 
determined foe, and shrieking in an agony of 
fear, ‘shoot him! shoot him!’ The man, whe 
was one of the greenhorns, happened to be 
about a mile behind the main body, either from 
the indolence of his horse or his own careless- 
ness; but as he approached the party in his 
desperate flight, and his lugubrious cries reach- 
ed the ears of the men in front, about a dozen 
of them rode to his assistance, and soon suc- 
ceeded in diverting the attention of his pertina- 
cious foe. After he had received the contents 
of all the guns, he fell, and was soon despatched. 
‘The man rode in among his fellows, pale and 
haggard from overwrought feelings, and was, 
probably, effectually cured of a propensity for 
meddling with grizzly bears.”
