Fragment from a 1917 adventure tale adaptation of Baree Son of Kazan. Describes Baree the wolf-dog ally of Nepeese and Maheegan as wolves track caribou across a moonlit northern plain, the pack closing in and Baree eager to join the hunt.
A garbled excerpt discusses expectant mothers and farm telegrams, with scattered phrases about books, bees, wives, and bindings. The text is too fragmentary to determine a clear event or identities.
Baree the caribou pup fights for life as a gray wolf pack mauls him near a moonlit river. He escapes by leaping into a fast current, dragging himself ashore with a hind leg injured and his shoulder torn, while the wolves suffer and falter.
A vivid battlefield image describes a wounded creature with bleeding jaws and tongue, crimson trails along its body, and an ear cut clean as if by a knife. The narration conveys dazed instincts and blurred perception as if overwhelmed by a shout.
Carveth Wells, returning to London, lectures on the Malay jungle noting its topsy turvy ecology.

He cites Darwin and highlights unusual species like the serindin parrot and periopthalmus fish.

Dr Charles G Abbot director of the Smithsonian Institution leads the Solar Radiation Expedition for the National Geographic Society.

A London report estimates 28 000 000 visits to the British Empire Exhibition with two thirds of visitors surveyed in Britain entering the Canadian Buildings.
