We had separated from Kepenau, but now we heard his voice, and immediately afterwards the dogs gave tongue.  We were looking about to ascertain in what direction to bend our steps, when a fine deer started out from among the trees on our right into the open glade.  My gun being ready, I fired, and felt sure that I had wounded the deer; but the animal still continued its course.  The next instant the dogs appeared from the same direction, in hot chase after the deer.
