CHAPTER IX
THE ATTACK
Suddenly he stopped, for he heard a loud call.
“Help! help!” came from the distance.
“I’m coming,” shouted Rago, “I’m coming,” and he ran in the direction of the call.
“Help! help!” came the call again, and this time Rago knew that it was Long-head calling.
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” shouted Rago as he ran on as fast as he could.
It was not very easy running, for the trees were very thick in this part of the forest.
As he neared the spot from which the sound had come, he heard a fierce growl.
Growl after growl he heard. “’Tis a wolf, ’tis a wolf,” he thought.
