Wild Dogs Stole Ewes
When 100 ewes recently disappeared from a ranch near Narwon, New South Wales, they were tracked into rough country by a native tracker.
When found the ewes were huddled together at the base of a cliff, stricken with terror. A score were dead and the tracker said that the tracks told the story of their experience. Four dingoes, or Australian wild dogs, had cut out the ewes from a large flock of sheep, driven them into hiding and there massacred 20 of the victims, though one ewe would have been more than enough to feed their captors.
