Now he had only strength left to pull the trigger, Twice his forefinger closed, Twice there eame deadened explosion close to Plerrot’s body. In Plerrot's face Nepeese saw what had happened.

He wanted to give a single lunge to the man-brute's back and snap his thick neck as he would have broken a caribou-bone, ut he had no strength, He was stiil partinlly paralyzed from his fore. shoulder back. But his jaws were like iron, and they closed savagely on Me Taggnrt's leg.
