Label Text"I...soon put a bullet through another enormous animal. He did not, however, fall, but stopped and faced me, pawing the earth bellowing and glaring savagely at me. The blood was streaming profusely from his mouth, and I thought he would soon drop. The position in which he stood was so fine that I could not resist the desire of making a sketch. I accordingly dismounted, and had just commenced, when he suddenly made a dash at me. I had hardly time to spring on my horse and get away from him, leaving my gun and everythng behind." Kane, Wanderings, Chapter VI
