Chapter VII
Some of the others were inclined to agree with this view of the case; but George Gossett was sure it was a horse. "I was right at him," he said, "when he pulled off Monk's coat, and it was a horse, even to the mane and tail. I was looking at him when he turned and made for me. Then I tripped and fell, and just did get to the fence in time to save my neck." "You hear that, don't you, Mr. Fullalove?" remarked the man who had been holding the horses.
