[[Galle, Milton Harvey Robert, 1902-1923|Galle]] saw a bear to the north of camp. He and [[Maurer, Frederick W., 1893-1923|Maurer]] went after him but the
bear saw them and ran to the west. They gave chase, as the bear had been
wounded when he started to run. When about three miles west of camp the
pursued bear was rapidly gaining when a female bear with two cubs was seen approaching from the west. She came to where the boys were hidden and they
killed the old bear and one cub, the other cub getting away. I went to help
them. After finishing skinning, [[Maurer, Frederick W., 1893-1923|Maurer]] returned to camp and [[Galle, Milton Harvey Robert, 1902-1923|Galle]] and I lay
in wait for a large bear and a cub approaching from the west. Darkness, however,
coming on and the approaching bears' course rather uncertain, we returned to
camp. Eight bears were seen to-day and literally hundreds of tracks."
