192 TES THE LAND^S END 



*' Why, bless thee, I thought every grown 

 man knowed that ! 



'"Tes the Land's End." 



" Ah ! " ejaculated Sir Tudor reflectively. 

 He was moved at learning that he stood at 

 the uttermost verge of the land ; for a moment 

 he forgot all about the hare, but only for a 

 moment. 



** I hope she's not gone over," said he, as 

 he looked down at the seething waters. Then 

 after a pause, he added with much feeling — 

 " She was as stout a hare as ever stood before 

 hounds." 



He quite believed that the jack had leaped 

 over rather than be taken, but he was wrong. 

 The distressed creature had found a sanctuary 

 amongst the rocks, where the hounds would never 

 have found him even had they been allowed to 

 search. 



There we will leave him, for though his after 

 years were marked by hairbreadth escapes, his 

 adventures do not exceed in interest those that 

 have been chronicled. 



One incident, however, must be mentioned. 



Within four days of the chase he returned 

 to Hannibal's Carn, where he found a mate 

 worthy of his fine qualities, and for a time his 

 happiness was complete.
