Not in the least disheartened, he climbed the rabbit-track, rustled over the hedge-bank to the margin of the pond, and there, as in the nights before the frost, feasted eagerly on duckweed and watercress.
"Yes," said the doctor, "I left him hotly following up a rabbit-track, in the firm belief that it was that of a silver fox." "And did you not undeceive the greenhorn?" cried the accountant, with another shout of laughter. "Not I," replied the doctor.
A black white man'd be as natural. Smoke, we just oughta travel to-morrow. The country's plumb dead of game. We ain't seen even a rabbit-track in a week, you know that. An' we gotta get out of this dead streak into somewhere that meat's runnin'." "They'll travel all the better with a day's rest for their feet and moccasins all around," Smoke counseled.
However, he now proceeded on his way, diverging only to follow a fresh rabbit-track a few hundred yards, to note that the animal had doubled twice against the wind, and then, naturally, he was obliged to look closely for other tracks to determine its pursuers.

There he was well protected from the owl by an impenetrable prickly roof, while he could readily elude, by diving, any stray creature attacking him from land.
