My Horse Behaved Very Well - Just Whirling Around A Few Times - But Faye
Was Kept Busy A Minute Or Two
By his, for the poor horse was awfully
frightened, and lunged and reared and snorted; but I knew that he
Could not unseat Faye, so I rather enjoyed it, for you know I had
wanted to go back a little!
Lieutenant Baldwin and the buffalo were soon far away, and when our
horses had quieted down we recalled that shots had been fired in
another direction, and looking about, we saw a pathetic sight.
Lieutenant Alden was on his horse, and facing him was an immense
buffalo, standing perfectly still with chin drawn in and horns to the
front, ready for battle. It was plain to be seen that the poor horse
was not enjoying the meeting, for every now and then he would try to
back away, or give a jump sideways. The buffalo was wounded and unable
to run, but he could still turn around fast enough to keep his head
toward the horse, and this he did every time Lieutenant Alden tried to
get an aim at his side.
There was no possibility of his killing him without assistance, and of
course the poor beast could not be abandoned in such a helpless
condition, so Faye decided to go over and worry him, while Lieutenant
Alden got in the fatal shot. As soon as Faye got there I put my
fingers over my ears so that I would not hear the report of the
pistol.
