There were three of us who had taken the little excursion my brother, who was about 10, my sister, who was 12, and I myself, then about 8. A Race for Life With Hungry Wolves. My sister covered my brother and me with straw and told us to lie flat under the seats. The horses seemed to understand our terrible danger and fairly flew over the road. . e From the first alarm, there was no need to urge them. I had seen the flash of fire from their feet when they bounded forward. When we were about two miles from home we could see dark shapes on the long straight road a scant half mile behind us. The kids huddled on the straw in the back of the wagon. None of them spoke until Mary, Kathleen's older sister, put her head down and whispered: When I jump, dont tell father. Let him keep right on. Kathleen stared at her sister. She was going to sacrifice herself to delay those wolves for a few momenta. Kathleen caught Mary and hmg to her. Her brother told Mary he would certainly scream if she jumped. And meanwhile the wolves were gaining! The horses were doing their best, but they had a heavy aleigh to haul, and the wolves were running free. They were less than a quarter of a mile behind now, and the sleigh was a mile from home.

They were almost In sight of home when they heard the report of a rifle. Then, they heard a second shot Thus, they knew that their mother, at home, had heard those terrible howls and was ready to help them. As they rounded a turn to the road, they saw a great bonfire built near the spot where the aleigh would turn into the yard.

And still the wolves gained on them. As the sleigh turned into the yard and pulled up beside the fire. Mother threw one of the rifles to Dad. And together, firing shot after shot, they held the pack at bay. Kathleen says there must have been at least 30 wolves in the pack. They circled around the big fire, snarling and snapping, while Mother and Dad blazed away with the guns. When nine had been shot down, the pack broke and scattered. And the next morning two more were found dead a short distance away. When the wolves were gone, the horses were cared for. Says Kathleen.
