On July 15, 1806, Hugh McNeal, Lewis’s fellow traveler, was out alone on horseback. All of a sudden he saw a bear not far away. His horse suddenly ran forward and threw him near the bear. The bear was ready to attack him. What could he do at such a short distance? He hit the bear on the eye with his gun very hard, and quickly climbed up a nearby tree. Because of their large size and straight claws， this kind of bear is not good at climbing trees, so the bear waited at the base of the tree. And it waited, and waited. Finally, just before dark, the bear gave up and left. McNeal climbed down and got back to camp safely.
