Summary "My Strange Rescue and Other Stories of Sport and Adventure in Canada" by J. Macdonald Oxley is a collection of short stories published in the early 20th century. The book captures thrilling adventures and sportsmanship in a Canadian setting, prominently featuring young characters and their daring exploits amidst the wilderness. The stories likely draw inspiration from the themes of courage, childhood ambition, and encounters with nature. The opening of the first story, "My Very Strange Rescue," introduces Walter, a spirited young boy determined to prove his bravery to his older brothers by hunting a bear on his own. This leads to a series of events where he ventures into the forest with his loyal dog, Tiger, and inadvertently falls into a bear's den. After losing consciousness, he finds himself in a perilous situation with the potential return of the bear, creating a tense atmosphere as he works to escape while his canine companion valiantly tries to defend him against the approaching danger. Walter's initial bravado quickly becomes overshadowed by fear, setting the stage for a gripping tale of adventure and resilience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
