What is ironic about the ending of the interlopers What did you expect would happen What happens instead?

In the beginning of the story Ulrich and Georg has a serious hate for each other. Then later when they were trapped under the tree, they broke the ice and become friend. But nobody is going to know about it, since they are just going to be eaten by those hungry wolves. This is the biggest irony in the story. Also when the shoot out for help, but only the walves came is also a Irony, since their people didn't come, the only came is the wolves and the wolves are not going to help them at all, the only thing they are going to do is just eat Ulrich and Georg and makes thing worse, because the hate is probably going continuing on between the two family since there is no one to put a stop to it.
