FIGHT WITH WOLVES

TWO MODEST YOUTHS Two old Harrovians who are on a walking tour through the Arctic snows of Nor then Scandinavia .have had a fight with fifty wolves who attacked the camp where they were sleeping. But they are not a bit concerned ; and they are carrying on with their walking tour as if nothing had happened. The boys are T. H. Manning, aged twenty, of Dallihgton, Northampton, and Reinold Bray, aged twenty-one, of South End, Ockham, Surrey. Hitherto they have been in company with one of Sweden’s foremost mountain climbers, a photographer named Borgmesch. And this is the story of the wolf fight as they told it. “ The wolf fight was not at all worth mentioning. We have heard heaps of wolves howling nearly every night, but we are not afraid, especially as we have got from England a new first-class equipment, including shot-guns, rifles, skee sledge of the Nansen type, and many other instruments which we bought from a former English Antarctic expedition. “ Wo will take Borgmesch’s advice when he now leaves ns, not to go alone through the desert when coming to the Finnish frontier, where we have already arranged for a guide to meet us. We hope to be back in Helsingfors from the Kola Peninsula in April.”-
