'Are you going to take him out now?' asked one of the men.
'Of course,' answered the fat man, and he began to break the box with his axe.
Immediately the four other men climbed up onto the wall to watch from a safe place.
As the fat man hit the box with his axe, Buck jumped at the sides, growling and biting,
pulling with his teeth at the pieces of broken wood. After a few minutes there was a hole big
enough for Buck to get out.
