62 HUNTING RECOLLECTIONS. 



Wright's Leys, and on towards the Round 

 Bush Grove, and on towards Mundon, but lost 

 before getting there. Drew Mundon Furze, 

 and went away over the Hall Farm on to the 

 marshes and saltings, crossed them and hunted 

 slowly on towards Mayland, but having got so 

 very far behind our fox in crossing the saltings, 

 had to give it up as a bad job. Hounds worked 

 very well, and Carnegie was full of life, and did 

 all he could to kill his fox. 



December 31st. Thursday. Latchingdon. 



Fine day, westerly wind. Found at first 

 on Batts Farm, and afterwards in the Gorse, but 

 could not run either of them a yard. Then 

 found in Old Moor Wood, went away over the 

 brook at a rattling pace, down the lane towards 

 Asheldham Rectory, then to the left over Batts 

 Farm, through Robinson's Grove, across the 

 Caidge Farm to Lords Wood, past Bakers 

 Grove, leaving that on our left, on to Tatham, 

 over Andrew's Farm, heading to Althorne 

 Grove, but before getting there doubled back to 

 Mayland Church, where we had our first check, 

 after a hard forty-seven minutes, then on again 

 past John Page's house, over the Caidge, and 

 into the buildings, and killed in the adjoining 

 field. The best day we have had.
