Major Duncan rushed to the rescue of the dogs, who are almost sure to get liurt if a bear is wounded ; but the dogs were so thick the major could not shoot. I saw Bravo caught in Bruin's arms, and saw the major push a couple of dogs aside and fire, but he only succeeded in knocking the brute down and releasing the old dog. At the same moment, a stroke of Bruin's paw sent the major's gun spinning through the air. The bear then rushed away into the canebrake. Around and around, within the space of a few hundred yards, the battle raged fiercely. The htinters were all scattered through the canebrake, when the bear chanced to head directly for Rogers, who fired and, as the bear cliarged, took to his heels, and but for the courage of the dogs would have been caught. At the report of the gun, the maddened pack covered the game again, and he had to stop to shake them off. Rearing on liis hind feet, he would strike down with his fore j^aws, his long, sharp claws making the " fur fly" wherever they struck. The bear generally strikes downward, as he is pigeon-toed, and from the conformation of his fore-arm cannot well strike laterally when rampant. Rogers had gained on the bear by the dogs' renewed attack, but as soon as Bruin had shaken them off, he again pursued his human.
