How to zv a Ik for and shoot Snipe. 93 



game-bird with which I am acquainted. What- 

 ever the reason may be, the fact is nine times 

 out of ten as stated, so that whenever you are 

 badly beaten by a snipe which you are morally 

 certain is a dead bird, whether it fell in open 

 bog, rushes, or over a bank, your best move, 

 after a reasonable search about the place 

 where you expected \.o find it, is revocare pedeni 

 to any little hollow or patch of cover that lies 

 between the spot you are searching and that 

 from which you fired.
