Not illustrated. 1873 edition. Excerpt: ...there something there?" whispered Jud at length. "Look sharp!" A dark object seemed occasionally to come between us and the white wool; and by and by we heard a sort of craunching noise, as if bones were being gnawed. "He's there!" muttered Jud. "Let's fire!" Taking as good aim as we could over the log, we blazed away. A growl followed the reports; and the dark form glided off toward the crag.
