Far
from
her
intention
,
her
words
were
maddening
me
,
driving
me
on
.
I
could
not
play
the
coward
before
her
eyes
.
"
Here
goes
,
"
I
said
,
backing
water
with
one
oar
and
running
the
bow
ashore
.
I
stepped
out
and
advanced
valiantly
upon
a
long-maned
bull
in
the
midst
of
his
wives
.
I
was
armed
with
the
regular
club
with
which
the
boat-pullers
killed
the
wounded
seals
gaffed
aboard
by
the
hunters
.
It
was
only
a
foot
and
a
half
long
,
and
in
my
superb
ignorance
I
never
dreamed
that
the
club
used
ashore
when
raiding
the
rookeries
measured
four
to
five
feet
.
The
cows
lumbered
out
of
my
way
,
and
the
distance
between
me
and
the
bull
decreased
.
He
raised
himself
on
his
flippers
with
an
angry
movement
.
We
were
a
dozen
feet
apart
.
Still
I
advanced
steadily
,
looking
for
him
to
turn
tail
at
any
moment
and
run
.
At
six
feet
the
panicky
thought
rushed
into
my
mind
,
What
if
he
will
not
run
?
Why
,
then
I
shall
club
him
,
came
the
answer
.
In
my
fear
I
had
forgotten
that
I
was
there
to
get
the
bull
instead
of
to
make
him
run
.
And
just
then
he
gave
a
snort
and
a
snarl
and
rushed
at
me
.
His
eyes
were
blazing
,
his
mouth
was
wide
open
;
the
teeth
gleamed
cruelly
white
.
Without
shame
,
I
confess
that
it
was
I
who
turned
and
footed
it
.
He
ran
awkwardly
,
but
he
ran
well
.
He
was
but
two
paces
behind
when
I
tumbled
into
the
boat
,
and
as
I
shoved
off
with
an
oar
his
teeth
crunched
down
upon
the
blade
.
The
stout
wood
was
crushed
like
an
egg-shell
.
Maud
and
I
were
astounded
.
A
moment
later
he
had
dived
under
the
boat
,
seized
the
keel
in
his
mouth
,
and
was
shaking
the
boat
violently
.
"
My
!
"
said
Maud
.
"
Let
's
go
back
.
"
I
shook
my
head
.
"
I
can
do
what
other
men
have
done
,
and
I
know
that
other
men
have
clubbed
seals
.
But
I
think
I
'll
leave
the
bulls
alone
next
time
.
"
"
I
wish
you
would
n't
,
"
she
said
.
"
Now
do
n't
say
,
'
Please
,
please
,
'
"
I
cried
,
half
angrily
,
I
do
believe
.
She
made
no
reply
,
and
I
knew
my
tone
must
have
hurt
her
.
"
I
beg
your
pardon
,
"
I
said
,
or
shouted
,
rather
,
in
order
to
make
myself
heard
above
the
roar
of
the
rookery
.
"
If
you
say
so
,
I
'll
turn
and
go
back
;
but
honestly
,
I
'd
rather
stay
.
"
