This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. ... CHAPTER VI. E had to make but little preparation for the start, besides sending our blankets, guns, and ammunition down to Glynn's wagon. Every man contributed as best he could to the commissariat, and cooking utensils formed part of the wagon furniture.

We each bagged a brace of birds when the covey rose. The younger of the two dogs indulged in a chase on his own account, but Don, an English bred dog, stood like a rock until " hold up" from his master, when he found another member of the covey trying to do stowaway, but that game was not feasible just there, the grass being damp; the scent was good, and Mr. Stowaway was obliged to put in an appearance, and fell to Glynn's gun. The dogs were accustomed to travel with the wagon, and did not range very wide of the road, so we were able to sit on the wagon box, watching them work, and only jumped down when the pointers looked interested. It appeared that partridges were not likely to be scarce, for we were jumping off the wagon every few minutes, and when we...
