Description: 

Old Ben is finally brought to "bay" - driven to a position from which he cannot retreat - "against a down tree top" (196). Since this is in the part of the woods where "no axe [had] left a scar" (192), the tree was presumably brought down by wind or age. Its "top" is a tangle of branches through which the bear cannot travel.
