292 Method of deflroying Hares, (^c. 



Three or four men in a company ftand filcftt 

 and concealed in a thicket, with guns pointed 

 in different directions. When all are ready, 

 the caller applies two of his fingers to his lips, 

 and fucking them, at firil: flowly, and then 

 fafter, produces a fqueaking found ; when the 

 hares, within hearing, rufh to the fpot. In 

 this manner many are flaughtered in a day. 

 One of my companions, with Lombardi, a 

 Turk and Greek or two, who were adepts, 

 killed eleven, among which was a female big 

 with young. Thefe animals are faid to alfem- 

 ble together, to leap and play, at the full of the 

 moon j and, it is likely, the fhepherds, who 

 live much abroad, obferving and liftening to 

 them, learned to imitate their voices, to de- 

 ceive, and make them thus foolifhly abet their 

 own deflrudion."
