Text Appearing Before Image:
made a sudden rushto the end of the ice and leaped into the water. When it came to the surfaceit struck out for the rocky shore which w as about a mile away. The twokayaks went off in hot pursuit. Without warning the bear suddenly divedand in a few moments appeared alongside of the Esquimaus kayak. Thebrave little man attempted to drive another spear into the bear but the bearwas too quick for him and brought its paw down heavily upon his shoulder.The hunter, who was about thirty yards away, lifted his rifle and fired. Therecoil toppled over the kayak, and from the way he was fastened in, he had anarrow escape from being drowned. As it was he was none the worseexcept for an icy cold bath and the loss of his rifle which, of course, hadsunk. As quickly as possible he made his way to the Esquimau and foundhim lying back in his kayak bleeding and senseless, his left arm danglinguselessly by liis side. The bear floated alongside, the bullet having passedclear through the back of its skull.
