I was incensed now, and he must take what fortune might send; one can not guide one's sword to do the least harm fighting as did we. I had lost blood, and the game could go on no longer. "Eight!"
Then he sought to close and give the quietus with his iron hook, which all this time had been pawing the air; but Peter doubled under it and, lunging fiercely, pierced him in the ribs.

Bright! Sic'm! Pull 'm down!" sang out Lawson, lunging through the snow after the fleeing man. Buck and Bright, followed by the rest of the dogs, outstripped him and rapidly overhauled the murderer.
