Tliis giljbon, killed at Ho-mushu Pass, is quits different from tin' one shown below, taken on the Namting River. It is a much larger animal, the male is coal-black, the female dark brown leader of the paek. We liad all come to love this fine hound because of his faithful work. He would disappear alone shortly after our arrival at the hunting grounds, and a little later we were sure to hear his deep hay from the summit of a rock ))innaele or tlie depths of the spruce forest. The otlu-r members of the paek seemed to depend entirely upon him to find the game, but as soon as they heard his yelps, they would string out after him at full speed. Of course, it is always the best dogs which arc kil)e(l. l)ecause tliey are the most adveiitui'esome, and our first serow was dearly bought, for although it was a fine specimen, it cost us two (if our hot liouiids. One was ripped entirely open, and the big leader was knocked over a cliff and fell two hun- dred feet. Hotenfa, our Moso huntt-r, Ijrought him carefully into camp, but he died during the night, and the tears which his master shed were those of sincere sorrow for the loss of a faithful friend.
