Cross between a Wolf and a Hound

Your correspondent, T——n, will find this fact referred to in Sir John Franklin's *Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea*, vol. i., p. 268., 2nd edition, London. Murray, 1824. Lieutenant Hood says— "On our way to the tent a black wolf rushed out upon an Indian, who happened to pass its den. It was shot, and the Indians carried away three black whelps, to improve the breed of their dogs."
