The Book of the Damned

Another
correspondent
writes
that,
though
the
prints
in
all
cases
resembled
hoof
marks,
there
were
indistinct
traces
of
claws--that
"an"
otter
had
made
the
marks.
After
that
many
other
witnesses
wrote
to
the
News.
The
correspondence
was
so
great
that,
in
the
issue
of
March
10th,
only
a
selection
could
be
given.
There's
"a"
jumping-rat
solution
and
"a"
hopping-toad
inspiration,
and
then
someone
came
out
strong
with
an
idea
of
"a"
hare
that
had
galloped
with
pairs
of
feet
held
close
together,
so
as
to
make
impressions
in
a
single
line.
London
Times,
March
14,
1840:
"Among
the
high
mountains
of
that
elevated
district
where
Glenorchy,
Glenlyon
and
Glenochay
are
contiguous,
there
have
been
met
with
several
times,
during
this
and
also
the
former
winter,
upon
the
snow,
the
tracks
of
an
animal
seemingly
unknown
at
present
in
Scotland.
The
print,
in
every
respect,
is
an
exact
resemblance
to
that
of
a
foal
of
considerable
size,
with
this
small
difference,
perhaps,
that
the
sole
seems
a
little
longer,
or
not
so
round;
but
as
no
one
has
had
the
good
fortune
as
yet
to
have
obtained
a
glimpse
of
this
creature,
nothing
more
can
be
said
of
its
shape
or
dimensions;
only
it
has
been
remarked,
from
the
depth
to
which
the
feet
sank
in
the
snow,
that
it
must
be
a
beast
of
considerable
size.
It
has
been
observed
also
that
its
walk
is
not
like
that
of
the
generality
of
quadrupeds,
but
that
it
is
more
like
the
bounding
or
leaping
of
a
horse
when
scared
or
pursued.
It
is
not
in
one
locality
that
its
tracks
have
been
met
with,
but
through
a
range
of
at
least
twelve
miles."
