...laws

"Now, this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky. And the Wolf that may keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back. For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
-Rudyard Kipling

He moved to Vancouver, Canada, six years later, whilst out fishing, Major Summerfield was struck by lightening again and the right side of his body became paralysed.

He died two years after this incident.
