Tlie eehoes rang with_the»e hideous sounds as the strug gle continued, and at times it was al most impossible to distinguish dogs from rats afc they sprang, leaped^ clinched, snapped and tumbled over each other in the mad contest . i The most that we could see was a grim, weird sort of merry-go-round of hefni*, tails.
