Chapter VIII
THE FIRST NIGHT IN CAMP Whopper was not much frightened. He had met wolves before and he did not think that the pack on the ice would dare to attack him and his friends. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he watched the beasts closely, and when they came still nearer he rushed into the shelter and grabbed up his shotgun. "What's the row?" asked Shep sleepily, disturbed by the unusual bustle. "Four wolves are on the ice in front of the shelter," explained Whopper.
