The western Avernus; . arp longhorns that might have run him through like a bayonet.Their eyes glittered in the light I held, and theybellowed with fear and anger. Had he fallen thechances were a thousand to one against his life; hewould have been crushed to death between them ortrodden out of the shape of humanity under their hoofs.Sometimes he succeeded, but sometimes all this dangerwas encountered in vain, and the steer he tried to savewould be dead at last.
