Murray is not so lucky, and, having A NIGHT AFTER DUCK climbed into the hollow of a gum tree, I note the huge beast doubling after him. Round stumps, behind trees he dodges, with the mad bullock in hot pursuit, and, in less time than it takes to write, and from our safe vantage, we watch with bated breath, and no little anxiety. Most of the trees, huge giants of the forest afford no foothold for climbing, and evidently Murray realises this, for we see him double back to the tree where we remain... in breathless suspense. Nearer and nearer they come, pursuer and pursued, and we shout encouragingly to our unfortunate companion. " By Jove ! He is nearly done, " I exclaim, as Murray comes towards us, and I note he is almost blown ; and we realising his imminent danger, watch him with some- what ghastly faces ; while Smith adds to the excitement by nearly falling off his bough as we see the huge beast gaining ground. u Once get him up and he is safe, " I murmur amid breathless suspense, when, to my horror, Murray, who is a favourite with us all, catches his foot in the gnarled 120 A NIGHT AFTER DUCK trunk of the tree which is our salvation, and falls with a crash almost within reach of safety.
