"Sounded like a wolf."

"That's what I thought."

Then came the answer from the first wolf and now it was apparently much nearer. Low menacing growls from the dogs indicated that they too had heard the ominous sounds.

"They're coming this way," Jack declared.

"Sounds like it."

"Think there's any danger?"

"Injun build up fire. No come ver' near fire."

So Lucky also was awake. Bob had thought it a bit strange that the Indian had not been awakened as he knew that most forest bred men were light sleepers.

"Can we help?" he asked as he heard him crawling out from his sleeping bag.

"Non. Plenty much wood. Injun feex heem."
