Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.26. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Iluldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of 
the Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what 
he believes to be the right. 
FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
Adventures with Indians and Game. 
By Dr. William Allen. Price, $2.15, postpaid. 
This is a pleasing narrative of adventures on the plains 
and in the Rocky Mountains. Indian ways and wars, 
hunting the bison, antelope, deer, cougar, grizzly bear, 
elk are all told interestingly and well. Fully illustrated.

of an old French-Canadian trapper named 
“Doc” Terrien, was more sensational. He 
heard the wolves on his trail when he was carry¬ 
ing a whole deer, and a big one. He was some 
way up the mountain side above Cowichan 
Lake, upon the shores of which he had a boat. 
Doc knew well that by throwing his deer away 
he could escape himself, but was determined to 
save his meat and not to let the wolves have as 
much as a chop if he could help it. Being an 
enormously powerful man, with a most wonder¬ 
ful girth of chest, he managed to plunge 
through the tangled forest and over the great 
fallen logs, in spite of the weight on his back, as 
fast as an ordinary man could travel unloaded. 
He just succeeded in saving his bacon—and his 
venison. Flinging the carcass of the deer from 
his shoulder, and nearly capsizing the boat as he 
stepped in and attempted to push off all at once, 
he baffled the wolves, which, carrying a breast- 
high scent, reached the shore at the same 
minute. Owing to the boat catching sideways 
on a stone, it was only by stunning the leader 
of the wolves with an oar that the plucky old 
fellow made good his escape from the hungry 
pack. The Provincial Government will no 
doubt soon be hearing from Doc now, when he 
will make the heads of some of these wolves 
more than repay him for the hurry and trouble 
to which they put him. 
From Quatsino, near Alperni, on the west 
coast of the island, a very large bill was already 
presented to the Government within three 
weeks of the date of the increase of the re¬ 
ward. James McIntyre, of that place, on Feb. 
19 handed in a claim for no less than $1,395, or 
£279, for killing ninety-three wolves at $15 a 
head. The claim at the increased rate on some 
of them was disallowed, as McIntyre owned to 
having killed them before Feb. 1. The Govern¬ 
ment agent has, however, admitted liability to 
the extent of $1,000, or £200, to this successful 
destroyer of the carnivorous beasts. Three 
panthers were also shot in one week near 
Alberni, one of them in the act of feeding on a 
deer which it had killed. As, tempted by the 
large bounty, the Indians, who have hitherto 
been too lazy to hunt or trap, are now taking 
to the woods in pursuit of these savage 
creatures, we may expect that next year there 
will be a large increase of deer and wapiti on 
Vancouver Island. If only the same work of 
destruction is carried out as heartily on the 
main land of British Columbia—and it probably 
will be—we may- hope that when “Viator,” who 
has been bewailing his bad luck lately in the 
Field, next comes to this province for a hunt he 
may prove more lucky than before in the way of 
finding game. 
A CURIOUS ADVENTURE. 
A curious adventure happened the other day 
to Mr. D. Campbell, late honorary assistant en¬ 
gineer, Public Works Department, and now 
permanent-way inspector of the Indian Mid¬ 
land Railway, says an English paper. As he 
was traveling on the Cawnpore Line some 
twelve miles out of Jhansi, seated on the front 
part of a locomotive, he noticed in front of him 
a large number of vultures collected and evi¬ 
dently disputing over some object, which, as the 
engine drew near, proved to be the carcass of a 
jackal, probably killed by a passing train. The 
locomotive, with the inspector in front, charged 
in among these birds, who seemed determined, 
notwithstanding, to abide by their prey. The 
result was that while some were killed others of 
them were thrown against Mr. Campbell, whom 
they straightway proceeded to attack in a most 
vicious manner, tearing his clothes, and inflict¬ 
ing considerable wounds on his hands and face. 
He was able, however, to retain his position on 
the engine, and to defend himself from further 
injury, and he considers himself fortunate in 
escaping without anything more serious hap¬ 
pening.
