I shot consistently, till 13th May I mean. In middle April I have an 

 entry: " I'm afraid the snipe will soon be gone. ..." 



Re the last bird 13th May. I have " The bird — a pin-tail — seems quite 

 true and examination shows no sign of its having been touched up by a 

 pellet. 



Winter, 1915-16. 



My first bird was on 4th August. '• 2-couple of pin-tail to-day. I had 

 no idea they 'd be in so soon — or I'd have gone out earlier. The birds are 

 in good condition and may have been here sometime. . . .,"

I shot only another dozen couple or so before 1 went into head-quarters 

 and got no shooting. I was away from the suipe-ground again at the close 

 of the season — i. e., after February 1916. 



Winter, 1916-17.
