66 DEER -DRIVING IN MULL. 



miles from the spot, and fully an hour and a half 

 had passed since the chase began. When we got 

 to the place where the wounded hart stood, he 

 was nowhere to be seen. We sought the hill till 

 evening, but the ground was very rough, and 

 covered with the longest heather, also full of deep 

 holes. Next day the search was renewed with 

 additional dogs and men, but without finding any 

 traces of the stricken hart. Since this series of 

 stalking blunders, I have always recommended 

 young deer-stalkers to adopt the Kirkpatrick's 

 motto, " I will mak sicker."
