#attacked by a wolf

“RIDES WOLF'S BACK STABS IT TO DEATH,” Toronto Star. April 10, 1942. Page 38. ---- William Humphrey, Powassan bank clerk, killed a wolf by climbing on its back and stabbing it with a knife. He escaped this Tarzan-like stunt with nothing more than a pair of ripped trousers. Humphrey wounded the wolf with a rifle shot, then trailed it through the bush, but the wolf doubled back or its tracks, finally leaped from a rock to attack its pursuer. Man and wolf fell into a creek and threshed about for 15 minutes before Humphrey climbed on its back, seized it by the scruff of the neck and sank his knife into its heart.

Humphrey went hunting and met the wolf which he missed completely with his first and only shot. Undaunted, he tracked the animal down and withstood its attack with a knife. He finally stabbed the animal to death.
