Moret came upon the bears
suddenly while on his way thru
the woods and at once headed
for a tall spruce. The bears
pursued him and one of the an
imals grabbed him by the foot
before he could reach the tree,
sinking its teeth through his
shoe and piercing his toe. As
Moreau arose in an attempt to
reach the tree, the bear struck
at him viciously but he manag
ed to escape the full force of
the blow by drawing back his
head, receiving only a slight
flesh wound on the forehead.
Luckily the momentum of the
swing caused the bear to lose
his balance and fall over a log.
As a result of the brief respite,
Moreau was able to reach the
tree before the bear could
again overtake him. The ani
mals beseiged the tree for a
time but finally gave up and
wandered off.
Information is desired by the
Governor’s office of the where I

from was working in a lumber i
comp near Ketchikan. Import-!
