Watched by Wild Animals by Enos A. Mills

A black bear came into a United States Survey camp one Sunday afternoon while all the men were lounging about, and walked into the cook's tent. The cook was averse to bears; he tried to go through the rear of the tent at a place where there was no door. The tent went down on him and the bear. The bear, confused and not in the habit of wearing a tent, made a lively show of it -- a sea in a storm -- as he struggled to get out.

All were gathered round and watched the bear emerge from beneath the tent and climb a tree. Out on the first large limb he walked. He looked down on us somewhat puzzled and inclined to be playful.
