However we [?] [?] [?] & go for the new [?] after we [?] with a axe another with a club a third with a walking stick; they fight like panthers first we chase them there where we get blown they turn around and go for us making us run like hares finally after fighting desperately we tree one which [?] to be the female and proceed to chop the tree down; as it falls we make one desperate shot with the club at the animal; one or two of us getting nasty blows ourselves from our chum's sticks, but we slay one [?] and [?] [?] we can't tell what class he belongs to however when we sent the skin to the Provincial Museum the curator tells us it is a "wolverine".
