Forward!" shouted the Doctor, hurrying towards Hatteras, for the bear had reared on his hind legs, and was striking the air with one paw and tearing up the snow to stanch his wound with the other. Hatteras never moved, but waited, knife in hand. He had aimed well, and fired with a sure and steady aim.

Bravo!" shouted Johnson and the Doctor, but Hatteras was as cool and unexcited as possible, and stood with folded arms gazing at his prostrate foe. "It is my turn now," said Johnson. "It is a good thing the bear is killed, but if we leave him out here much longer, he will get as hard as a stone, and we shall be able to do nothing with him." He began forthwith to strip the skin off, and a fine business it was, for the enormous quadruped was almost as large as an ox.
