gray-gaunt

Updated: August 7, 2026

There came then a low, whining wail, like the beginning of the "death-song" of a husky dog a wail that grew in length and in strength and in volume until it rose weirdly among the mountains and swept far out over the plains the hunt call of the wolf on the trail, which calls to him the famished, gray-gaunt outlaws of the wilderness, as the bugler's notes call his fellows on the field of battle.
