Adventure in the North Woods and a Timely Rescue
Horace Graham, a Toronto School of Science student, treks north of Lake Huron with a survey party and encounters a rabid timber wolf threatening Bertha McNeill and her family. After a perilous river descent and a tense pursuit, he and Bertha kill the wolf with help from a rifle and a net trap, securing the settlers and earning praise for nerve and quick thinking. Horace spends the night at the McNeill cabin before continuing the journey the next day.
