AMONG THE WHITE 
SHEEP OF THE NORTH 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 339 ) 
night in our tent, which he accepted with¬ 
out much persuasion. We had hardly set¬ 
tled down again when the ground began to 
tremble and shake quite perceptibly and I 
wondered if the giant bear was trying to 
chew up the tent, but Ben said it was only 
a baby earthquake which of course had no 
terrors for us after our exciting adventure 
with the bear. In the morning we all had 
a good laugh, mostly at Andy’s expense, as 
he confessed to not having liked the idea 
of holding the light and rather decided that 
he had been the goat in the proceeding. We 
saw plainly where the bear had disturbed 
the brush, but could not determine for cer¬ 
tain whether he was of the black or brown 
species. Ben rather concluded that it was a 
Brownie, as he had tried to scare it away 
by shouting and knocking on the tent when 
he was first disturbed but the great dark 
object, which he plainly saw, kept advanc¬ 
ing toward him instead of retreating, as 
would probably have been the case with a 
black bear; then, too, his great size which 
Ben said, even allowing for the darkness 
which might have magnified it somewhat, 
and the noise he made seemed to bear out 
the deduction that it had been a Brownie. 
A FTER breakfast had been disposed of, 
Ben and I watched the sheep hunters 
disappear through the willows on their 
way to the high country and a little later 
we started to hunt for bear along the river 
bottom, having in mind a possible sight of 
our nocturnal visitor. We went up stream 
a way, but the alder jungle got so thick 
we turned about and hunted down stream. 
Climbing a little peak that commanded a 
fair extent of country we sat down and 
scanned the slopes for bear. We saw a 
black bear high above us near the foot of 
a draw, but none nearby, so we decided to 
drop down along the trail we had followed 
in getting into the country. Walt and Tom 
passed us on their way out to Skilak Lake 
cache with the sheep head's and we shouted 
bon voyage to them as they disappeared 
down the trail. Descending to the river we 
walked quietly among a great heap of 
broken boulders, the result of Spring rock- 
slides, and sat down in a good place to 
watch for bear. 
After an hour of patient waiting in the 
silence of noonday when the only sound 
came from the falling leaves or an occa¬ 
sional chirp of squirrel or bird, we decided 
to climb up the mountain side through a 
cut we thought might afford a way to the 
table-land above and walk back to camp 
along the top. We were just starting to 
climb when Ben looked back and said: 
“There’s a bear now.” I stepped up to 
where he was standing and saw a black 
object moving across the very spot where 
we had been sitting. I sent a quick shot 
after him, but he ran out of sight among 
the timber, and although we followed him 
a little he got away. This sudden episode 
changed our plans and we hunted slowly 
back to camp along the trail we had come 
down. When we neared camp we were 
surprised to see two rams high over our 
heads, climbing along the sheer face of a 
precipice. We stopped and watched them 
through our glasses for a long time.
