Statement
Bill displays mastery
in his work.
Wolves are sensitive
to the atmosphere
around them.
from The She-Wolf In White Fang
by Jack London
his excerpt, two men traveling by dogsled get a good look at
olf-dog that has been following them for days
few minutes later, Henry, who was now travelling behind
sled, emitted a low, warning whistle. Bill turned and looked,
n quietly stopped the dogs. To the rear, from around the last
d and plainly into view, on the very trail they had just
ered, trotted a furry, slinking form. Its nose was to the trail,
it trotted with a peculiar, sliding, effortless galt. When they
ed, it halted, throwing up its head and regarding them
edily with nostrils that twitched as it caught and studied the
nt of them.
It's the she-wolf, Bill answered.
The dogs had lain down in the snow, and he walked past
im to join his partner in the sled. Together they watched the
ange animal that had pursued them for days and that had
eady accompanied the destruction of half their dog-team.
after a searching scrutiny, the animal trotted forward a few
ps. This it repeated several times, till it was a short hundred

es, and with sigh and scent studied the outfit of the watching
n. It looked at them in a strangely wistful way, after the
nner of a dog; but in its wistfulness there was none of the
gaffection. It was a wistfulness bred of hunger, as cruel as its
in fangs, as merciless as the frost itself.

Bill knows that the
wolf presents a threat
to the sled dogs.
