His right ear was tipped with white. His tail, at six weeks, was bushy and hung low. It was a wolf's tail. His ears were Gray Wolf's ears sharp, short, pointed, always alert. His foreshoulders gave promise of being splendidly like Kazan's, and when he stood up he was like the trace dog, except that he always stood sidewise to the point or object he was watching.
Before leaving, the leader said to Alec: "Do not fire until you see the whites of his eyes, and then hit him, if possible, between them; or, if it is a side shot, strike him behind the foreshoulders." Alec was excited, but he soon conquered his nervousness, and prepared to play his part as well as possible.
The same performance was gone through with him, as already described, except that this one was conquered. At last, when the bull pitched at the man, he holds his sword in such a way that the weight of the animal comes on it, and passes between his foreshoulders and penetrates his heart. In an instant the back wilts and the animal lies dead.
The dry limbs of a prostrate tree were surely his antlers. But what are those two luminous spots? Need the reader be told what they were? In a moment the head of a real deer became outlined; then his neck and foreshoulders; then his whole body.
So it is with the moose and other deer species, and so by the light of the dancing auroras the three boys and those with them watched these two great moose, each standing at the foreshoulders over sixteen hands high, as they thus came on toward the spot where Mr Ross and Alec were well hid from observation, and behind whom the Indian kept now softly lowing like a moose cow.
Mustagan beckoned the two boys who were to have the honour of the first fire, and placing them side by side he quietly said: "Wait until in their fighting they turn their sides to you, then aim to strike them behind the foreshoulders." They had not long to wait ere the double report rang out on the midnight air, and as an echo to it another one was heard not far away.
