What can be concluded about Rainsford from the
narration?
"A twenty-two,"[Rainsford] remarked. "That's odd. It
must have been a fairly large animal too. The hunter had
his nerve with him to tackle it with a light gun. It's clear
that the brute put up a fight. I suppose the first three
shots I heard was when the hunter flushed his quarry and
wounded it. The last shot was when he trailed it here and
finished it."
He examined the ground closely and found what he had
hoped to find – the print of hunting boots. They pointed
along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly
he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose
stone, but making headway; night was beginning to settle
down on the island.
