<p>Zaroff first suggests to his victim that they go hunting. The chosen subject is then given a supply of food and 'an excellent hunting knife'. He is given three hours' head start, after which Zaroff will begin his pursuit, armed 'only with a pistol of the smallest caliber and range'. If the victim manages to elude the hunter 'for three whole days', he wins the game, and he is given his freedom, taken by sloop back to the mainland and released near a town. If he does not elude Zaroff, he 'loses', and is killed.</p> Signup and view all the answers
