The Wolves and the Antelopes.
A gentleman, who had been hunting in India, once told me the following story:
One morning Iwas looking through my telescope at every part of the wide plain before me to
see if any
game
happened to be in sight. In a short time I found a small herd of antelopes feeding in a
field, and I was just going to take the glass from my eye, when in the grey light I caught sight of six
wolves in a distant corner of the field. They were hidden from the antelopes behind some bushes, and they
were evidently engaged in
consultation
with each other.
I felt sure they were going to
stalk
the antelopes, and 1 determined to watch them. Creeping as
near to the wolves as Icould without being seen, I hid myself behind a bush.
By the time Igot near them, the wolves had made up their minds what to do. Themeeting
broke up, and five wolves crept to the edge of the field. Onewolf lay down at each corner of the field,
and the fifth crept towards
the centre where he hid himself.
The sixth wolf, who had not yet moved, now started from his hiding-place and
made a dash
at
the antelopes. The graceful
creatures started off in flying
bounds,
but,
the
moment they came nearthe ed
of the field, one of the wolves jumped up, turned them and chased them in the opposite direction. Again
the herd dashed across the plain, hoping to escape on
the otherside; but again they were met by awolf,
and in this manner the poor creatures were driven from side to side and from corner to corner.
I now saw what was the plan of the wolves. It was to tire out the antelopes. When theycould
run no longer, the five wolves would makean attack and drive the herd towards the centre of the field.
Then the wolf lying in reserve would have sprung up, fallen on the antelopes and made sure'mf at least
one
victim.
I rose, pointed my gun and shot the nearest wolf. The five others rushed off howling; and the
frightened antelopes escaped.
