By following the footsteps¹ on the muddy road， the dog guided us to a small house．I waved to my comrades² and we came near to a window．Looking in we found a man turning his radio set or operating some other instruments， possibly trying to get in touch with someone．He suddenly turned round．He must have sensed that there was something wrong．The danger he was in hit him．He picked up his gun， opened the door as quickly as possible， and rushed out， trying to flee．He was out of breath when he saw us closing in and let out a cry in despair(绝望)．
